Love those painted totes on tiktok? They're super cute! Come make one with us in the Loft on sewing machines! Painting to follow!
Come to a teen sewing class in the Loft (Main Library), where we will learn to sew trendy canvas tote bags and paint them -- just like on tiktok! Come at 1pm for the sewing class, and stay afterwards to paint your tote!
Here are the supplies and tutorials you'll need to make this project if you're not coming to the class!
Supplies:
Canvas (2 pieces, however big you want the tote to be)
Straps (2, any length that's good for you)
Thread to match
Sewing Machine (also optional, but definitely makes working on heavy fabrics easier! Consider using a lighter cotton fabric if you're hand sewing at home.)
Scissors, Needles, Chalk, Pins/Clips, and Measuring Tape (i.e. The Sewing Essentials)
Tutorials: Sewing a Tote Bag, Painting a TikTok Tote
