Touting our Tote

Last week we had a grand time dyeing our fabric. I hope you all had time to rinse out, dry, iron and most of all admire your beautiful fabric.

It was Sunday before I had a chance to get the extra pieces washed out and dried. The fabric used to soak up the left over dyes are just beautiful. I will bring them so you can see them in person. Please bring all your dyed fabric back so we can see it, even if you are not gong to use all of it.

For Wednesday, you will need :

1) the fabric you want for your tote and your dyed fabric
2) your sewing machine, (take a minute to make sure it is cleaned on the inside and put in a new needle)
3) thread to use for sewing the fabrics you have chosen and decorative thread if you want to use it for embellishments
4) bring an empty bobbin, this is for the mono-filament thread I will bring. You will find it very useful and it is a great product
5) you will be attaching your embellishments before the bag is completed, so bring you yarns, beads, charms, braid, trims, etc. I will bring some too
6) if you have a rotary cutter, ruler and mat it would be helpful to have several available to use
7) since I forgot to look at the electrical situation last time we met, if you have an long extension cord and a multi-plug bar it would be great to have a couple of those too

I will bring an iron and ironing board, the rest of the supplies you need (batting and muslin cut to size already), some embellishment items and the instructions.

It should be another really fun day for us. See you then!!!
