Saturday Sew Along meeting

Hi Everyone! We have our 2nd In Stitches meeting tomorrow, Saturday, July 26th at A Nimble Thimble. We are having a Saturday Sew Along and making our sewing tote. Check out the materials list below. See you there....and don't forget to bring your friends!

Materials:
1 yard of home decor cotton fabric (you will want a more sturdy fabric to give your bag body).
If you feel comfortable, go ahead and cut out your pieces beforehand.
2 pieces measuring 20"X21" for the front and back of your bag
2 pieces measuring 5"X26" for the handles
2 pieces measuring 10"X10" for the pocket
coordinating thread and bobbin
scissors
straight pins - I like to use quilting pins since they are longer for this thicker fabric
sewing machine - don't forget your electric cord and foot pedal!
