Taught by Joel Dewberry
In this class, Joel and Laurie combine their love of colorful fabric with sewing know-how to make a stunning and sturdy farmer’s market tote bag. Both the interior and exterior of the bag are pieced together with eye-catching fabrics. Laurie walks you through the steps for constructing the bag from the inside out, and covers details like adding fusible interfacing and making pockets. Once the sides of the bag are assembled, she shows you how to add the bottom of the bag and hand-sew the opening closed with a slipstitch. A little decorative top stitching gives the finished bag a polished look.

I think it would have been helpful to see the finished bag and have the instructor point out the different features first; I was a little confused watching the video as to what the different pieces were.
Also, making the bag with different color pieces (front / back one color, sides another, bottom a third would help show the different parts. A brief "show and tell" at the end could show other versions (i.e. the color block, or a non-color blocked one).
