The Oxbow Tote is a fun sew and makes a nice everyday bag with plenty of space. This pattern is characterized as intermediate level, so experience with bag making and zipper basics is preferred. For this class we’ll make the smaller size, following the pattern as written with either canvas or quilted fabric for the body. The regular size measures 15″ wide x 5” deep x 12” tall and can accommodate a small laptop or tablet. It features a zipper closure, handles and an optional shoulder strap with easily customizable interior pockets.

In this workshop, you will practice working with canvas or quilted fabric with appropriate stabilizers, creating a reinforced base for a sturdy bag, making interior and exterior slip pockets, installing a zipper (either fixed length or by-the-yard) and (optional) snaps. We’ll also discuss options for varying the basic design of the Oxbow.
