Make the ultimate carry-all bag in this fun and practical sewing class! In this workshop, students will create an oversized quilted tote using the popular pattern by Handmade by Kacie. This roomy bag is perfect for hauling knitting projects, groceries, beach gear, or everyday essentials. The finished tote size is 26" x 19".

Students will learn how to assemble a large lined tote and attach sturdy straps for a polished, professional finish. Along the way, we’ll cover tips for working with quilted layers, managing bulky seams, and keeping everything aligned.

Audience: This class is best suited for confident beginners who are comfortable using a sewing machine and sewing straight seams. You may not complete the entire bag during class, but you’ll leave with all the skills needed to finish at home.
