Everyday Tote — Two-Day Bag Class, November 12 & 13

Thursday, November 12 and Friday, November 13, 2026
10:30 AM – 3:00 PM both days
Instructor: Marilyn Hays

Build the bag you will actually carry every day. The Everyday Tote by Bagstock Designs is a structured, roomy tote with a zip-top closure that keeps everything inside where it belongs — the kind of bag that goes to work, the market, and class, and still looks sharp doing it.

What you will make

• A zip-top closure across the full opening
• One zippered pocket inside
• Two pleated slip pockets inside
• A contrasting accent panel — quilting cotton, vinyl, or cork, your choice
• Finished size: 18" wide at the top, 13" at the base, 12" tall, and 4¼" deep

Over two days Marilyn takes you through the techniques that separate a homemade bag from a professional one: working with foam interfacing so the tote holds its shape, installing a handbag zipper cleanly, setting rivets, building interior pockets, and giving the base the structure it needs to stand up on its own.

Kits will be available with everything you need — fabrics, interfacings, stabilizer, zippers, and hardware. Kit pricing to be announced; call the shop at 501-205-1975 to reserve one.

What to bring: your sewing machine in good working order, plus your usual sewing supplies.

Skill level: Intermediate. You should have basic sewing skills and be comfortable working from a sewing pattern. If you have made a zippered pouch or a simple bag before, you are ready for this.

Please note: this is one class across two days, and your registration covers both.
