Nancy shows you tips and tricks she learned in twenty years of teaching. The class will show you how to produce tote bags that are fine enough to sell or to give as a gift. Have you made an invisible pocket, a covered strap or two kinds of easy zippered pockets? Do you know the rule of 6 or the formulas for tote bag bases? Join in to see and hear tips on stabilization (quilting & fusing), pockets, straps, closures and construction. What is covered in the class goes beyond the basics and fills in some of the details that aren’t included in most patterns.

What you’ll learn

• stabilization (quilting & fusing)

• straps - covered - two-tone - corded - embellished

• pockets - patch (divided zippered & double) - placket (open & zippered) - invisible

• closures - bow - magnet

• construct tote bags - boxing bottoms - bottoms to bottoms - turned in tops - binding top - sew tops and turn - lining taller than outer bag

It's also a lot of fun!
