Time: 2 pm - 6 pm

Instructor: Carrie B.

Join us for this two-part workshop where you'll create your very own All The Things Quilted Tote by Knot + Thread, a beginner-friendly and stylish pattern that's both fun to make and super practical. It’s perfect for daily use, carrying your groceries, or gifting to someone special!

In class, we’ll be focusing on the Large size tote (11" H x 18" W x 8" D). It’s easier to construct and offers lots of space.

Prefer to make the Small (11" H x 14" W x 8" D) or Medium size (11" H x 16" W x 8" D)? No problem! You're welcome to do so, just ensure you bring along the correct supplies listed below.

This tote features a roomy quilted body, open storage design, and a choice of handle styles. You'll learn how to make your own handles from fabric or use 1.5" webbing, whichever you prefer!

Whether you're a confident beginner or an experienced sewist, you'll get step-by-step support while learning:

• Bag construction
  

• Professional finishing tips

• Bias Binding installation
