Canvas Tote Workshop (Self-Guided)

Put a sewing project in the bag with this self-guided Canvas Tote Workshop. Pay $10 for your pre-cut materials and sew at-your-own pace with the help of detailed tote fabrication instructions. Note that this is not a scheduled workshop.

Pre-cut tote materials along with necessary sewing equipment and printed instructions are available at the following locations:

· Idea Forge Commons Sewing Cabinet (kits on top)

· Will Vill Sewing Cabinet in Classroom 166B in Will Vill North. Follow the instructions on the front of the cabinet to gain access.

You will need to select the main 18 in. x 40 in. tote material + two straps. Mix and match colors as desired. It is advised to match the thread (stored in cabinet) to the main tote material color so mistakes are less visible. Please pay for your kit HERE.

Prior to sewing a tote you should review the Janome DC2015 Resource Page or attend a free in-person Intro to Sewing workshop at the Idea Forge.

If you are a moderately experienced sewist, this project should take 3-4 hours. If you need assistance, ask an Idea Forge SMITH for help or email joshua.colyer@colorado.edu.
