Here are the finished projects from the ‘Small Quilts and Tote Bags from Your Old Sweaters’ workshop.

Randi admitted a sewing machine phobia at the beginning of class, but she really wanted to make a tote bag. So she plunged in. As we worked out the construction details, she did the required sewing. She was very pleased with the finished bag.

Ginger’s tote bag was well underway, when she placed her small quilt on it. “I think I’m going to use this as a pocket on the bag,” she said. It was absolutely perfect! Ginger used a variegated thread for decorative stitching on the bag.

Continuing the outer space theme, Susan sewed a bag from silvery black denim. She used her small quilt as a decorative panel on the front. Then she made another small quilt to decorate the back of the bag.

The class was made fabulous by the loan of Husqvarna Viking Designer I sewing and embroidery machines. Thank you to those who made it possible!
