Introducing the comprehensive video class for the Shades of Yesterday Tote Bag pattern by Andrie Designs! This is an easy to follow sewing pattern designed to step you through creating a beautifully pieced tote bag (which looks far more complicated than it really is!). The outer front panel is constructed with a series of beautifully curved pieces, allowing you to play around with a collection of coordinating (or contrasting!) fabrics.
The Shades of Yesterday Tote Bag features a recessed zipper closure, two zipper pockets (one inner and one outer), and an adjustable cross body strap as well.

Throughout the class, I will step you through how to assemble each and every component of the Shades of Yesterday Tote Bag pattern, including how to sew most of the components on the machine as well. PLEASE NOTE: the pattern and pattern pieces are NOT included with the class; you will need to purchase these separately by choosing the preferred option from the drop down box above.
Total class length is 3 hours, 5 minutes.
