Chubby Tote Class | Thursday January 9th

Date: Thursday January 9, 2025
Time: 12-4 PM
Instructor: Shannon Benner

Create your own super handy tote bag available in four sizes! Shannon will lead you through making these super cute tote bags that can be used for ALL THE THINGS! The small tote is just the right size to be used as a child's tote or a reusable gift bag. The medium and large sizes make wonderful shopping bags and everyday totes. The XL tote is the perfect beach bag!

✨ Note: If you choose to use soft and stable, please have it quilted prior to class. 

✨ We have 4 classroom sewing machines - if you need to use one for this class, please call to reserve your machine. These are first come, first serve. Otherwise, you will need to provide your own sewing machine! 

✨ Take 15% off any supplies from Calliope Quilts that you may need for your class!
