The Better Bag Maker Class Plan: My First Tote

My First Tote

Bag-making for Beginners.

From The Better Bag Maker by Nicole Mallalieu

Class Description: Boost your sewing skills and confidence as you learn the basics of Better Bag Making. Learn all about interfacing, cutting, sewing and finishing a shopping tote with a zippered pocket, internal base and magnetic snap closure as you make a tote that you can use as an everyday carry-all. You will finish a Basic Bag (page 66) with a focus on learning the processes, tricks and tips that make the project come together quickly and with a professional finish. It’s all in the detail (and tip boxes!). This workshop is designed for beginners or advancing beginners, but can equally serve as an introduction to the basics of bag-specific sewing techniques for any level of experience or skill. Participants will be bursting with pride and enthusiasm for more when they realize that they can make such well-finished bags!
