Pre Quilted Tote

Just in is a bolt of this pre-quilted fabric.
Great for making a tote to carry your mat and ruler to sewing events. Plus, by laying the empty tote flat on a surface, it can be used as an ironing pad.

Also a nice size tote for carrying a couple quilts.

To make this tote:
  • Cut two repeats of the pre-quilted fabric design.
  • Pin and stitch 15" length of handles on the inside, alining raw edges at the bag top and bottom (these are the more narrow ends). The strap ends need to be 7" from each side. Stitch close to the edge to secure. It will be covered when the top and bottom edge binding is added.
  • Put binding on the top and bottom edge.
  • Turn the handles up and top stitch through all thicknesses to keep them up.
  • Fold the quilted rectangle in half, wrong sides together and stitch side seams
  • Finish by binding the side seams.
