PT - Pepin Tote - Waxed Canvas Bag

Are you looking for the perfect bag? How about a beautiful, functional, everyday tote bag for that special someone in you life? This two-day, Wednesday/Thursday evening workshop will start with material selection and go right into bag construction, and by the end of the 2 sessions, you will walk away with your beautiful tote bag.



The Pepin Tote is such a useful and versatile bag, and it’s a real crowd pleaser. This spacious tote is a great beginner bag that will introduce sewing with waxed canvas, boxed corners, zipper installation, reinforced bottoms, pockets, leather straps, rivet setting, pattern reading, and so much more! The Pepin Tote's finished size is 13 1/2in wide X 12in tall X 4in deep.
