Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced | Instructor: Pat Cullen

One of Quiltsmart's mottos is "Easy, Fast, and Smart!" and their Mondo Bag proves to be just that! Join Pat in the studio this February to make this unique quilted tote bag and learn how to use Quiltsmart's printed interfacing panels to create perfectly matched seams.

The Mondo is super versatile and is great for a weekend travel bag, diaper bag, or even a super cute project bag.  During this class, students will learn how to make a quilted tote bag using Quiltsmart printed interfacing.  With this technique, all of your seams will match up effortlessly!  

Finished Bag Dimensions: 10" square bottom x 17" high.
