Firefly Tote w/ Kam

The Firefly Tote is a simple, yet classic all-purpose tote that is so fun to make. Students will have two size options to choose from - a larger tote size or a mid-size project bag.

Students will learn how to sew the exterior zipper pocket and learn other unique bag making techniques. 

Please note: Class prep is required for this class, and students should be familiar with using a sewing machine and know the basic functions of the machine. 

Ages 18+

Class Level: Intermediate

Intermediate level classes are suited for makers who have taken 2-3 Advanced Beginner classes in their craft, and/or have made several projects on their own, and are feeling independent in their skills. Some classes may include pre-class prep to be completed on your own. Sewing students must be comfortable threading their machines, following a seam allowance, changing presser feet, and troubleshooting minor machine issues.
