Sallie Tomato - Book Club Month 5: Hobo Bag Kit

Whether you are just starting their sewing journey, or are seasoned bag makers, our Making Bags Book Club is a great way to build your confidence in bag making.

This medium-size tote has lots of room for storage thanks to the depth of the boxed corners. The addition of pockets makes this bag very functional for students, professionals, light travel, or everyday use.

The Beginner Tote has been designed with similar steps as the Quilted Pouches so your customers become more comfortable with the process. With this project, build skills in fabric preparation, creating a front zipper pocket, attaching handles, easily installing a zipper, assembling the bag, and adding optional embellishments.
