Machine Sewing, Level II: Make Your Own Tote Bag – Saturday October 10, 10am-12pm

Ready for a bigger sewing project? In this class, your child will use a sewing machine from start to finish to create a fully custom tote bag they designed themselves. They’ll choose their own fabric, decorate the outside of their bag, and attach canvas handles for a finished piece they’ll actually want to carry.

This is a Level 2 class, built for kids who already have some machine sewing experience under their belt.

Prerequisite: Child must have completed “Make Your Own Stuffy” before enrolling in this class.To

What your child will learn:

  • Machine sewing skills beyond the basics
  • Choosing and working with fabric for a real, wearable project
  • Decorating and customizing their own design
  • Attaching canvas handles for a sturdy, finished bag
