Getting Started Sewing Gift Set

This gift set is perfect to give someone who wants to start sewing.  Included are the tools, pattern and fabric to craft a practical lined tote.  The tools are the essentials for any basic sewing kit. 

This tote bag (The Sturdy Tote) project includes skills such as cutting out a pattern, following a lay plan to cut out fabric, sewing straight seams, top stitching, pressing, and turning fabric through to make handles.  Great basic skills that are essential for sewing ongoing. 

We have chosen a durable fabric that is not too sturdy which we think is a great weight for a beginner to work with.  The resulting tote will be a soft enough to fold away, but sturdy enough to be a general workhorse. 

Each gift set includes: 

• Printed sewing pattern and instructions,
• Everyday Cotton Drill fabric for the outer bag
• Organic cotton poplin lining fabric
• Matching thread
• A pair of entry level quality tailor's shears
• Mid weight fabric pins
• Bespoke tape measure
• Chalk pencil

Each gift set comes beautifully presented in fabric wrap with a gorgeous tag for you to write a personal message.
