Sew this Tote! (Beginner Class) WED, MAY 13 11am-2:00 pm



Sew this Tote!

If you want an introduction to sewing and love a good quick-finish project, this quick tote bag is going to make your whole day. The beautiful printed panel on sturdy canvas has everything you need laid out for you - front, back, gusset, handles, lining, and all the little bits in between. You'll finish the project and be proud of your new bag!

The artwork is peak Essoldo Design energy: soft botanicals, layered textures, deep greens and blues, and that signature hand-painted vibe that makes Flora & Form feel like a gallery wall you can carry around.
