This class meets at our Court Street location

Even if you think you have enough tote bags, you'll want to add this one to your collection.

Using a sprightly array of colored cottons fabrics, heavy-duty thread and a needle, you'll design, pin, cut, and stitch a hand-sewn summer tote.     

You'll leave this workshop with the stitching skills and direction needed to create additional tote bag designs to make for yourself or to share with others.  

Grab a needle & thread and get "carried" away -- sew fun!

(Class size: 6-8, hands on, no sewing experience needed. We provide all the materials. This is a two-night class, if you finish early be ready to start a new project.)
