Super Tote Sew-Along

7/6/2015

20 Comments

 
I'm so excited to announce my next Sew-along! This time, I hope you'll join me in making a Noodlhead Super Tote. If you're not familiar with the Super Tote, you're in for a treat! This is a gusseted tote with a roomy exterior pocket and a recessed zippered closure. Inside are large slip pockets. This tote is so great for a day of errands, a walk around town, or a carryall for busy moms.  Mark your calendars: We'll start on July 17, for a weekend of sewing. Similar to my last SAL, I have some discounts to share with you, and a prize! 

Discounts:
Anna from Noodlehead has generously set up a coupon code for my readers to save 20% off the Super Tote pattern. Use code STSAL, valid until August 31, 2015.

Daryl from Fabric Spark has also generously agreed to extend a discount to my readers, and I think you'll agree it's the perfect discount for this pattern: Save 15% off all Linen/Canvas fabrics, with code Happy15 until July 31, 2015

Prize:
I will randomly select a participant who completes their Super Tote to win any 2 Noodlehead PDF patterns. Entries must be in by August 5. 2015. See below for details.

I will be using Anna's Rain Walk collection from Cloud 9 for my Super Tote. I can't wait to dig into this gorgeous fabric!

What do you now? If you don't have the pattern, you can purchase the PDF here (don't forget to use code STSAL to save 15%) or the paper pattern from Fabric Spark here. Next, you'll need to select your fabrics. Refer to the pattern for requirements. Note: depending on the fabric types you choose and your personal preferences, you may wish to add fusible fleece and Pellon Craft Fuse to your interfacing. Check my Canadian Sewing Links tab for great sources in Canada.

I really love following everyone's progress so please use #HappyOkapiSTSAL on Facebook and Instagram when you post about it so we can all see what you're up to.

I bought it, but I'm a procrastinator. I have good intentions but never enough time. But I promise to try.

Hi Hope! I think what's great about sew-alongs is that you can see other people's progress on social media- a great motivator!
