Whether you're a serger aficionado or a sewing machine enthusiast, you can whip up the easy and practical Calypso Tote as a gift for yourself or for someone you love.
Made in a cheery blend of mix and match fabrics, it beautifully carries whatever you need to sleepovers, picnics, the library, the beach or on vacation, or use day in and day out as an environmentally friendly grocery tote.
It measures approximately 14 x 17 inches and includes convenient pockets inside one is even large enough to accommodate an iPad. Missy walks you through everything from the supply list and cutting instructions to strip piecing and finishing; the results are spectacular.
Along the way, this celebrated Babylock educator shares tricks of the trade for perfect pressing, cutting and rejoining the pieced strips. In the strap construction, she shows you just how invaluable the Fasturn tool can be. The Calypso Tote is fully lined plus has an interlining of Soft and Stable, which gives it enough body to stand and stuff. Braided spaghetti bias stabilizes as well and adds a designer touch to the bottom of the bag.
Missy includes instructions for several trim options and also teaches you how to box the bottom for a professional look. What a perfect excuse to root through your fabric stash and spend the afternoon sewing.
