"Everything but the Machine" Tote



This class will be run over two sessions. The first session includes pre-assembly of the tote and the second session puts it all together.

It cannot be registered for on the A&E website, but must be paid for by cash or check (made out to Dana Burkett) at least 3 days before the first session. Why? Because Dana precuts everything you need to assemble this fabulous tote and even supplies the 5-drawer plastic insert. The class fee includes both sessions and all of the supplies required to make the tote.

There is a minimum of 4 students required for this class to be offered.

Instructor Bio: I am a passionate Sewing Instructor dedicated to helping others discover the art, creativity, and confidence that come from working with fabric and thread. With a foundation in both traditional techniques and modern design, I guide students of all skill levels—from complete beginners to experienced makers—through the rewarding journey of creating their own garments and projects. My teaching style is hands-on, patient, and encouraging. I believe that sewing is not just a technical skill, but a form of self-expression and empowerment. Whether I’m demonstrating precise stitching methods, explaining pattern construction, or helping troubleshoot a tricky seam, I focus on making each lesson clear, practical, and enjoyable. I specialize in creative sewing projects, with an emphasis on building confidence and independence at the sewing machine. I take pride in creating a supportive learning environment where mistakes are part of the process and every student leaves feeling accomplished. Above all, my goal is to inspire others to turn their ideas into something tangible—one stitch at a time.
