For the class project we will be sewing a zipper tote bag that’s approximately

12 inX12 in (30.5cm X 30.5 cm) with two long shoulder straps and outside and inside pockets.

For this project you will need:

Outside fabric : 2 pieces: 12in X 12 in (30.5 cm X 30.5 cm)

Lining fabric: 2 pieces: 12in X 12 in (30.5 cmX 30.5 cm)

Fabric for Straps : 2 strips 3 in X 18 in (7.6 cm X 45.7cm)

Fabric for Pocket Binding: 2 strips 2 in X 12 in (5 cm X 30.5 cm)

Fabric for Interior Pocket: 6in X 12in (15.25 cm X 30.5 cm)

1 Zipper : 12in (30.5cm)

2 pieces of Interfacing Pellon 931 TD Fusible Mid-weight : 12in X 12 in (30.5 cm X 30.5 cm)

You can use any fabric that you have available from your collection. Have fun and get creative when choosing your fabrics! This is a lot of fun!

Please note that you do not need the exact fabrics from the video in order to take this class.

I had a lot of fun designing these prints and fabrics so if you would like to use the exact fabrics you can find them in my spoonflower shop: https://www.spoonflower.com/designs/11653927-skillshare-class-coffee-tote-bag-by-luli_print

We will start by selecting the fabric and deciding which print we will use for the front and back, the outside pockets, the lining (interior) , and the inside pocket.

We will make sure we have enough to measure and cut all the panels we need.

I like pressing and cutting all the panels before we start sewing so we know we have everything we need to complete the project.

First we will sew the outside pockets, then we will sew the interior pocket to the lining. Once we have all the panels ready we'll be ready to sew the zipper. Exciting!

We’ll add the straps and I will teach you how to square up the corners so we create a roomy flat bottom for your tote. At the end of the class you will have made your own cute organizer zipper tote bag! So practical and great to put all your sewing and craft tools, easy to carry, and a great idea for a gift too!

I would love to see your final bag so please share your project so we can all get inspired by each other!

Thanks for sharing this class with me!
