What is it? – For today’s active life styles a handy tote is a required accessory.  Satisfying requirements of both form and function they are both fashionable and useful.  Totes of one kind or another are available everywhere.  So many styles, so many colors, so embellishments.  But therein lies the problem.  Which one?  Choices, choices, choices.  Well, here’s another choice for you.  What if you could make your own tote?  Pick your own style, pick your own fabrics, pick your own embellishments.  And what if you could have more than one?  Dress one up for more formal occasions or make one more fun for those casual outings?  By simply changing fabrics, color combinations or embellishments you can make it uniquely you.  Really? How?  Leave it to Nancy Zieman and Clover to provide the ultimate answer.  Enter Trace ‘N Create Template – Nancy Zieman’s Hobo Tote Collection.  They’ve done all the work for you by producing this durable template system that allows you to produce tote after tote.  Now you’re free to pursue your creative tote intent with reckless abandon.

What does it do? – With Nancy Zieman’s Hobo Tote Trace ‘N Create Template you can easily create the structure for any stylish tote that you can imagine.  All totes are a roomy 16″H X 18″W X 5″D with plenty of pockets on the inside.

Template – The template is made of durable plastic so it can be used time after time.  It is also die cut for precision placement.  Every mark, every cut will be perfect and consistent.  Seam allowances are included.  It’s even color coded with instructions.  Think of that, perfection every time and no patterns to cut out.

Options – You gotta’ have options and Trace ‘N Create provides them.  The Hobo Trace ‘N Create template is actually a set of two templates that provide three layout options.  One allows the use of four colors/patterns (think fat quarters), one allows two colors/patterns and one for a single color/pattern.  The large size of the Hobo Tote is perfect for large prints or to help demolish that previously referred to fat quarter collection.

How do I share it? – Who doesn’t love a fashion statement?  Everyone knows the right bag is essential to that statement.   Teach a class using the Hobo template.  Show your friends how easy and exciting it is to make that statement.  And what do they do when they finish making that fashion boosting bag?  They use them and you now have the faithful showing all of their friends what can be done.  And word will spread.  It’s just too good not to have one of your own.  With Nancy Zieman’s Hobo Tote Collection Trace ‘N Create Template you can truly make the Hobo Tote uniquely you.
