In this class we will be making the very beginner friendly Anna tote.  This simple tote has a large main pocket (with an optional recessed zipper), a front slip pocket, and accented shoulder straps.

There are three "kit" options: 

• Full kit - Includes all the fabric, pattern, and supplies listed below (Chose Tula Pink's Daydreamer, or Scion’s Poppy Pop)
• Supplies Only - Includes the pattern and all required interfacings needed for the bag but no fabric. This is a great option if you want to use up your stash.
• Pattern and Class Fee Only - Includes just the pattern, you will supply everything else. 

Skills Introduced:

• Working with Soft and Stable/Foam Interfacing
• Installing Recessed Zippers (If desired)

What classes are you currently offering?

Our current class list is available here: Class Schedule 

What should I have prepared for class?

For the most part, come to class ready to start assembling your project.  If you're taking a byAnnie class, come to class with your pieces cut and quilted and all of your coordinating pieces cut.  

Specific "homework" for each class will be outlined in the registration email you'll receive after you sign up.

When will my class supplies ship?

Class supplies are generally shipped out as soon as you are registered.  Occasionally we have to wait on some supplies from distributors.  At the latest, supplies will ship a month before class so you have time to prepare and read your patterns.  Any delays (expected or otherwise) will be communicated via email. 

How are virtual classes set up?

Our virtual classes are hosted live via Zoom. This gives participants a chance to ask questions, see up close demos for more difficult sections, and get one-on-one help as needed.  Live classes also give us a chance to interact with each other and make some new friends along the way. 

Links to join the Zoom classes are sent through email a few days before class.  You must have Zoom installed on your device to join the class.

Are the Classes Recorded?

No. Due to copyright and privacy issues, our classes are not recorded.  If you miss the posted time of the class we won‘t be able to send you a replay.  We know life happens, if you find yourself in this situation, please reach out.  We would love to provide whatever support we can and answer questions to help you get your project made.

What is included in the kits?

 All materials included in class kits and any additional options are listed in each class description. 

What about material substitutions?

We always try to order enough class materials for how many students we are estimating to have.  If we need to order additional materials and they are no longer available we will substitute with an item of equal or greater value.

What happens after I sign up?

Once you have added your class to your cart and checked out, you'll be added to the roster for that class. You will then receive an email confirming your registration.  The email will include a reminder for the class date and time, a detailed outline of what to have prepared for class, and a link to join our private Facebook group exclusive to our students. 

I have other questions not answered here.
