Three Pocket Tote Class!

Hi everyone!  I know I sound like a broken record, apologizing all the time for posting pictures of projects for classes with such short notice until the classes.  Does that make sense?  Recently, my brain seems to not be working 100% properly, so hopefully this post will make sense.

On Saturday, February 18, from 10-5, we will be making the Three Pocket Tote by The Quilt Company.  The price for the kit and class will be $26, and will include all of the necessary materials to make this cute little bag.  And now that I've given you (hopefully) all of the details, let's see some pictures of this bag!


So this bag has a bigger pocket in the center (as seen in the second picture), and then two flap pockets on both sides on the outside.  The fourth picture shows one of the outside pockets.  This would be the perfect little bag to make for your favorite stylish girl for Easter.  Or, who am I kidding, it would be the perfect bag to make for YOURSELF!  I was actually just thinking the other day that I want a smaller bag just to carry my wallet and other little necessities while on a shopping trip, instead of my normal huge and heavy purse.  This was a very quick project, since it's basically a quilted square with binding and a handle, and then it's folded and sewn in a few strategic places.  I made it even faster by using a pre-quilted fabric instead of quilting the square myself.

If you are interested in signing up for this class, please call the shop at (207)764-3800 or email us at sylvia@gardengatefabrics.com.  We would love to have you for this class, so please get in touch with us soon!
