HMQG Free Workshop: Trail Tote


The HMQG will be offering a free workshop to our members after the September meeting on Saturday, September 21. Our own Kate White will be leading the workshop as we make the Trail Tote by Noodlehead. You can download the pattern from Robert Kaufman Fabrics here!

In order to maximize our workshop time, please be sure to cut and interface your pieces according to the pattern, BEFORE the meeting. If you don't you will not have time to finish the tote during the workshop.

You can pre-make your piping if you'd like, however, we will be doing it during the workshop.

Below are the pattern requirements for each size of bag. We've also included a supply list for the day of the meeting.

We will have hardware available for sale at the workshop to make the Large size tote. The hardware includes two 1 1/2” rectangular O-rings, one 1 1/2” strap slider and one 14mm extra thin magnetic strip - all in silver. The cost will be $3, cash or check only. Any leftovers will be available for sale to those that are not able to attend the workshop.

If you have any questions, please contact Kate.
