ByAnnie Two Big and Two Little Totes
Ready to tote-ally level up your sewing game? The ByAnnie Two Big and Two Little Totes class is here to help you carry it all literally and stylishly.
In this three-part series, you’ll create one of four tote sizes. One of two roomy “big” totes or one of two handy “little” totes that are perfect for organizing everything from sewing essentials to travel must-haves. With wide openings for easy access, sturdy over-the-shoulder handles, reinforced bases for durability, and secure zippered closures that open flat for full interior reach, these totes are designed for real-life hauling from sewing retreats to grocery runs and everything in between.
Inside and out, you’ll work through signature ByAnnie features like slip and zippered pockets, structured construction, and those satisfying finishing details that turn fabric stacks into serious, functional bags.
Class time is 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm.
You’ll need to purchase your pattern, fabrics and notions ahead of time and have everything quilted, cut out and the pieces labeled prior to class to make the most of class time.

| Instructor: | Cassie Blanchard |
| Instructor Bio: | Cassie turned into a full-blown quiltaholic in 2020. In early 2023 she made her first ByAnnie bag and it was love at first zipper. Since then, she’s been hooked and now speaks fluent “ByAnnie” complete with the pattern stash and borderline-out-of-control fabric situation to prove it. She believes that bringing bags to life one stitch at a time is basically a superpower and that every sewist needs a pretty seam ripper, a label that says, “I made this,” and the emotional resilience to wrestle thick seams in their toolbox. In her class, you can expect ByAnnie pattern translation (if you know, you know), helpful tips, a dash of sass, and lots of encouragement. Whether you’re new to bag making or already dangerously close to needing a storage unit for your creations, Cassie is here to make the process fun, fearless, and just the right kind of addicting. |
