Get ready for an exciting new project!

Your patchwork and quilting skills have been developing nicely, we’ve made two projects now in the Baby Quilt and the Table Runner that are true patchwork stuff… but now we’re going to combine two passions of mine, patchwork and bag making to make a beautiful beach style tote bag.

Actually, you can choose any fabric combination you like for this project… I happen to be making one for our beach side retreat, so that I can cram it full of sun tan lotion, water, hair ties, beach towel, iPad and magazines etc… but this size of bag would be happy doing some casual shopping just as much as it will going to the beach.

So let me introduce you to this new project…

So now you’ve got an idea of what we’re going to make, let’s get on with the key stage one and look at the pieces required to start our construction.

Mark this lesson as complete and move on…
