The addition of pockets makes this bag very functional for students, professionals, light travel, or everyday use. The Beginner Tote has been designed with similar steps as the Quilted Pouches so you become more comfortable with the process. With this project, build skills in fabric preparation, creating a front zipper pocket, attaching handles, easily installing a zipper, assembling the bag, adding optional embellishments.\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-left: 2.5in; text-indent: -2.5in;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eWHAT TO BRING: \u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003ePlease bring your sewing machine in good working order.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eSince we are only familiar with the machines we use, we may have limited knowledge of other brands, please bring your manual just in case you need to refer to it during class.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;\"\u003eStandard sewing supplies including, thread to match your faux leather or cork (poly is better than cotton), zipper foot, sewing clips, chalk or removable pen, 1\/8” double sided basting tape, and rotary cutter.
