Join our Block Party and make the all-new ESTEE BAG! Tune in on New Year's Eve from 12pm - 4pm ET and sew this designer-inspired bag, featuring Block appliqués and Berry Medley embellishments, sewn in the hoop or with traditional appliqué methods. Let's ring in 2027 together, doing what we love at the sewing machine!
We're coming together LIVE to teach you how to make the Estee pattern by Sallie Tomato. You'll learn how easy it is to add appliqués to the bag exterior, turning a basic accessory into a statement piece.

MEET ESTEE
Sophisticated and stylish, Estee is a statement bag that blends structured design with modern handmade details. Designer-inspired handles, interior slip pockets and eye-catching hardware accents give the bag an elevated finish, while the spacious open areas on the front and back panels invite you to make it your own.
And that’s where the Block Party begins!
The bag exterior provides the perfect backdrop for geometric appliqués accented with (or without) the Go! Berry Medley dies, which feature simple grapes, cherries, blueberries and a strawberry. These fun fruits are trendy and oh, "sew" sweet!
For an extra-polished finish, we'll incorporate hardware details to give your Estee Bag a sophisticated, designer-inspired look.
Estee means star. With its distinctive silhouette and endless opportunities for customization, this beautiful bag is sure to become a star in your wardrobe!
Estee Bag finished size: 12" W x 6¼" H x 2¼" D
LET’S HAVE A BLOCK PARTY!
The Go! Berry Medley appliqués by AccuQuilt, designed by Chris Marchetti, bring the perfect fruity twist to this year’s project. During the Sew-Along, you’ll learn how an AccuQuilt GO! fabric cutter can make cutting your appliqué pieces fast, accurate, and fun.
Don’t have a GO! cutter? No worries! Templates will be provided so you can precut your appliqués using traditional methods and still join the party.
Once your blocks are ready, you can choose how you want to attach them to your Estee Bag:
- Sew your appliqués onto the exterior using traditional sewing machine techniques. We'll give you thr tips and tricks for layered appliqués that don't stretch or move during stitching.
- Use in-the-hoop appliqué methods and attach the fruit of your choice using your embroidery machine. We'll show you how!
- Add as many or as few appliqués to create a custom bag. Or keep it simple and have your own party (without the "block") if desired!
