Taught by Lesley Ware
Make a bold statement without saying a word by customizing a favorite tote bag. Lesley Ware - maker, author, and fashion-as-self-care-advocate - was inspired by the signs she created to express herself in her office. In this class she teaches you how to turn your tote bags into signs in order to to share your favorite quotes and thoughts everywhere you go. It's a fun way to speak up with fashion. Learn how to paint words with stencils, embellish your bag with patches, and even replace the bag straps with some hand-sewing to make your statement tote really stand out.

I think (?) this class is geared towards children and I think it's a really good class for kids to make their own statement tote. The design itself is easily improved upon for an adult's tote that maybe needs a little more care in designing. I love her idea to change out the straps of the tote to really make it unique. Plus, the kitty-bomb (Miles) was delightful!
