Emmaline Maker Series Challenge
July's Pick:
Fieldstone Tote
Everything you need to create this month's featured project.
THIS MONTH'S FEATURED PATTERN
The Fieldstone Tote by Noodlehead Sewing Patterns
For July we're featuring the Fieldstone Tote by Noodlehead Sewing Patterns, because it's a great summer project and works so beautifully with so many prints and solids. You can really personalize it, plus it is so fun and FAST to sew. We need something fast to sew in the summertime so we can get back out and enjoy the weather!
Create this beautiful bag with our curated materials, colourways and favourite sewing essentials. We've pulled together our favourite coordinating materials to make planning your project easy.
This project has a free video tutorial! Scroll down for the link.
Skill Level: Beginner+ (Perfect for either a confident beginning bag maker, or someone with intermediate sewing experience that has never made bags before!) Fabric pieces are cut out using a rotary cutter, ruler and mat, so some experience with that may be necessary.
Estimated Sewing Time: 3-4 hours
