The video sewalong for the Morris Tote sewing pattern is now available on the Wholecloth Patterns Youtube channel. These video sewing instructions cover every step of making both sizes of the Morris Tote quilted tote bag. You can use this tutorial to sew either the full sized or Mini Morris Totes, and you can easily add the extra features of the full sized Morris to the Mini.
I'm calling the Morris Tote an advanced beginner sewing pattern, because of the precision needed to attach the binding, and the thickness of the quilted seams. Don't be daunted, it only takes a little practice to master these techniques. My goal with the video sewalong is to make sewing your own Morris accessible to very beginner sewists. I will demonstrate the most full proof way to attach the binding, and give you my tips for mastering bulky seams. (Spoiler alert: the only real trick is to sew slowly!)
The video instructions are available to everyone, but you'll need a copy of the sewing pattern to make the Morris Totes. The patterns are available separately, or in a discounted bundle.
