QUILTING, SEWING, KNITTING, & CROCHET CLASSES
(Listings are in order by date of first class.) |
Briefcase Style Tote
Jean Wells
$25 +BSS
Sun, Jan 13
12-4 pm
This tote is just the right size for
carrying a laptop, file folders, knitting
projects, etc. The rectangular
shape can easily be adapted for an iPad or
made larger for holding big projects. The bag fabric
has been strip-pieced together to create a modern
patchwork look. Then the patchwork is top stitched in
a contrasting thread. If you want to go really simple,
construct the bag with just one fabric.
