Meet the Crew Tote - the newest bag pattern release by our in-house pattern brand, Studio M Squared!
Inspired by the iconic boat totes everyone loves, the Crew Tote puts a fresh spin on a timeless design with modern color-blocking. Exterior pockets keep your everyday essentials organized, while the unlined, roomy interior is perfect for everything - from storing your groceries, library books, to a beach towel and sunscreen, Crew Tote is a great bag for all of your needs.
In this 3-week class we'll be making the Regular Size Crew Tote (the larger bag). In the first class, students will machine embroider a floral monogram design on the pocket using our Janome Skyline S9 machines. In the remaining two classes, students will construct the bag.
