Class: The Mini Waxed Canvas Tote Bag with Evan, Saturday December 13, 9AM-1PM

Come sew this adorable new mini tote bag with Evan!

The finished bag measures 13" x 11" x 6"—a perfect compact size that’s still roomy enough for your everyday essentials. With sturdy over-the-shoulder straps, three metal snaps to keep your bag closed and maintain its shape, and bias-bound seams for extra reinforcement, this tote combines utility and timeless style. As the waxed canvas softens over time, it will develop a beautiful, lived-in patina that makes it uniquely yours. You’ll leave class with a finished tote you can start using right away!

This project makes a wonderful holiday gift, a fun afternoon with a friend, and an excellent way to gain experience sewing with waxed canvas.
