Pink Sands - Tahiti Tote

This is part of a progressive skill building bag class. 

You will need to pick up your pattern prior to the class so that you are able to choose fabrics, stabilizers and notions.

Please have your fabric pieces cut and fused prior to coming to class.

In this class, you will make a bag that has a zip top closure. 

In addition, pockets are added to this bag.

Finished size 15.5" wide at the top x 11.5" tall and 4" deep. 
- Zipper closure
- Six inside pockets, double outside front pocket, with zipper closure
- Great shoulder bag!

The following supplies are needed for this class: 
- Pink Sand Beach Designs Tahiti Tote pattern, #118
- Fabric 1 - 1/2 yard for lower bag front/back and straps
- Fabric 2 - 1/2 yard for upper bag front/back and outside pocket
- Fabric 3 - 1/2 yard for outside pocket accent, bag bottom and inside pockets (or use Fabric 2 for bag bottom)
- Fabric 4 - 1/2 yard for lining

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

If you want your bag base the same as your feature fabric for the outside of the bag, a little extra feature fabric may be necessary.
Conversely, if you would like the entire outside of your bag to be the same fabric, rather than having an accent strip on the top of the bag, you will need to purchase your fabric accordingly.

If you choose to create your bag sides as one piece, you will need to cut two pieces of your focus fabric (for front and back) at 12 x 16, and two pieces of your fusible fleece at 12 x 16, as opposed to the directions on the pattern.

You will need to bring the following to class:
- Your pattern
- All of your fabrics, stabilizers and notions
- Machine in good working order
- Your favorite piecing foot or 1/4" foot and zipper foot
- General sewing and quilting supplies (pins, wonder clips or similar)
- Bohin 1/4" double sided tape is really helpful for zippers, but not necessary.
- Rotary cutter

The shop will provide an iron, but if you have a small one that can travel, you're welcome to bring it, along with an appropriate pad or mat suitable for ironing.
