About this Event

Come make your own custom fabric tote bag! All supplies and materials will be provided; participants are highly encouraged to bring their own sewing machine if you have one. Pattern is customizable to size, with two sizes prepared ahead of time: "grocery tote" and "book tote" size. This 2-hour workshop will cover everything from picking out fabric, cutting, and sewing your tote bag!
Participants should have a basic knowledge of using a sewing machine. No other experience is necessary. This is the perfect next step to take after taking Gene's "Sewing Machines for Absolute Beginners" class at Prototype!
