Bernina is coming! October 1-3, 2026

Poolside Tote



Come and make Alissa's very favorite bag with her. This tote is the best size, easy to make, and all around fantastic! Purchase the pattern with class and receive a discount on your pattern. Bags can be made out of denim, decor weight, or quilting cotton. Alissa fuses fusible fleece to her quilting cotton and thinks it makes the perfect weight bag extreior!

Supplies Needed:

  • Approximately 1.25 yds of BOTH lining and exterior (more if needing to pattern match or align stripes)
  • .75 yd of accent fabric (Handles, pocket linging)
  • .5 yd of accent fabric (facing - around top of the interior)
  • 10" zipper (optional, Alissa doesn't make a zipped pocket but we will in class if you want it)
  • 2.75 SF101 woven interfacing
  • 2 yds fusible fleece for Alissa's favorite version!
  • Sewing Kit - snips, thread, needles, etc
  • Sewing machine (with power cord and foot control!)

There are a few variations in this pattern. If you're intersested in discussing them with Alissa so you know which pattern pieces to come to class with, please call or come into the shop before class. All pattern pieces need to be prepped (fused) and cut for class. Please come to class prepared so your fellow students don't have to wait for you to get caught up.
