Learn to Sew 103 - Keep it Up! (Tote Bag and More)

LEARN TO SEW 103

Beginner Sewing- Tote Bag and Skill Building

This class is part of our Learn to Sew Series, in which you will make a lined tote bag with boxed corners, and more!

You will learn to use interfacing to level up your sewing game. Interfacing stabilizes and stiffens fabrics, which adds firmness, shape, structure, and support to the items you sew. Interfacing is used in the creation of bags, collars, waistbands, cuffs, and more!

You'll also make two to three projects using the skills you've learned so far, as well as new skills, such as making a buttonhole and sewing a button on with a sewing machine. (Yep. You can do that, and it's the best.)
