Lunch Tote

This month, we’ll make cute little Lunch Totes. The Trader Joe’s Mini Tote is blowing up on Tick Tock! I had to look, and I’ve created a serger version. I added a bit of flair using a three-thread flatlock. The Tote is fully lined and has Ladder stitch detail at the seams and a fun deco detail on the handles.

Techniques this month: Ladder and Deco stitching, Color Pops, and Easy Box Bottom with an inverted Pleat

Hi I'm PJ

Since 2006 I’ve been a teacher at Montavilla Sewing Centers in the Portland Metro area. I design, produce and teach the monthly projects for Babylock Serger Club, Janome, BabyLock and Brother Machine Embroidery Club, and 8” Block of the month Club.

I have a lot of fun creating projects, designs, and patterns that incorporate techniques and products to encourage the students to get the most out of their Sergers or Embroidery Machines.
