The Essentials Tote Bag Video Class
Take the video class and get a step-by-step walkthrough taught by the designer, Brenda Miller. There is no need to purchase the pattern separately; it’s included with the class.
Marjorie made this batik version of the Essentials Bag. She and her friend Gayle made bags together. She writes:
