Conference Tote Bag Pattern Sew-Along

This Conference sew along is PAUSED For the Moment.

 

Want to learn more about sewing bags? This tote bag pattern sew-along includes so much info with videos, photos and lots of helpful links and tips.

I'm so excited because the first ever So Sew Easy Sew-Along launches today.  It's been months in the making and finally you all get to join me in this project.  Let me explain to you about the bag we will sew and about how the Sew-Along will work.

The finished size of the bag is approx 12 inches wide, by 4 inches deep and 10 inches tall.

The schedule

The Sew-Along will last for 10 days, with new lessons being released each day, comprising the pattern, materials list, tips on interfacing and then step by step sewing instructions each day with photos and a video.

All throughout we'll be sharing what we make at each stage, showing off our fabric choices, asking questions and sharing advice over in the Sewing Chat Group and I am really looking forward to it so much. I want to see what fabrics you'll be using, ask us if you aren't sure which combo works best, and following along with your progress each day until we all share our finished bags there at the end.  So if you aren't already a member, come and join us now.

Sewing Chat Group

The schedule is flexible and lasts for 10 days whenever you sign up, so if you don't read this until next week, next month, next year, you can still join us at any time and work on the bag.  Of course you may miss in the big sharing of bags 10 days from now, but that's OK, we'll always be delighted to see what you make, whenever you get it finished.

Pick your own pricing – and why…..

Just recently you may have noticed that some of the downloads have been ‘pay what you think it's worth to you'.  Through our chat group I've become increasingly aware of how the internet has changed the world, brought us all closer together in some ways, and yet in real practical ways we are still all a world apart.

Just discussing the price of fabric, we find in Singapore it seems like a bargain, while in the UK it seems really expensive, when we convert all of those prices to our local currency.  $20 for a tote bag pattern / sewing lesson in the US/UK might seem quite reasonable, while to others in different parts of the world, that might be completely out of reach. We all love to sew, and I want to bring that enjoyment to as many people as possible, without restriction based on your comparative wages and cost of living.  It's important for me to be aware of how my ideas can be made affordable to as many people as possible.

Readers come from all over the world

So far this year, the site has registered visitors from 235 different locations.  Visitors from closer to home in the USA and Caribbean and then much further away such as Antarctica, Kiribati, Eritrea, Togo, Bhutan to Tuvalu. (We tried to think of every possible country and there were visits from all of them, but not one visit from Vatican City.  I guess they don't sew their own clothes.  Or maybe they are big fans and Google just doesn't show them separately?)

So this tote bag pattern and sew-along is on a ‘pick your price' basis so that I hope everyone can take part.  Pick a price anywhere from $3 to $20.  The course content is exactly the same whichever price option you pick.  I hope its not confusing, and that I will see you ALL there sewing along with me.

I purchased this pattern on June 15th and I am still unable to access the tutorial for how to make it. I sent emails at that time, only for them to go unanswered. How do I get assistance to make this pattern or receive a refund on my payment?

YOu can but this sew along is PAUSED as the program used is not working well at the moment. I need to update the plug in and it is more expensive than I would like it to be.
