Tidy Tote
Dec 5 @ 9:30 am – 4:00 pm

Chances are, if you’ve been to a retreat, you have seen this bag.

The Tidy Tote allows you to pack all the things you need for classes and retreats, and keep them in one place, right where you need them.  No need to ever unpack again – just zip and set up next to your machine.  Never forget a thing again.

 

The Tidy Tote by Anita, is proving very popular with quilters across the world. Even those whose hobbies are not sewing can use the Tidy Tote to hold all their essentials to take to classes.  I have one for quilting, one for painting and of course one which holds everything I need to teach classes as I travel around the country.

The pattern is very detailed with full colour images and two size options for the Tidy Tote itself and two sizes of the Tidy Tote Baskets.

There is an orientation on Wed Nov 15th 10:00-11:00 AM, if you cannot make it, please leave your email so that we can get you the prep instructions.
