Lurline’s Quilted Christmas Tote Set
A tote and its matching pouch · about 310 sets left“I’ve never made a tote without its little sister.”
– Lurline Treloar, 71, after 57 Christmases at the machine
Made in an old dairy shed in north-east Victoria
Behind Lurline Treloar’s weatherboard house near Beechworth stands a little tin shed that was once the dairy. For 57 years it has been her sewing room. It is where every one of these sets has been made – one at a time, at the 1978 Singer her late husband Ron bought at a clearing sale the summer they married.
It started at the CWA Christmas stall, when Lurline was fourteen. She sewed the big quilted totes. Her mother couldn’t bear to waste the leftover piece of the panel, so she turned it into a small zip pouch. The women at the stall wouldn’t take one without the other – and Lurline has made them as a pair ever since.
On 18 December 2026, the shed closes for good. The sets on this page are the last ones. Her grandkids Tayla and Brodie pack and send out every order.

Six things that make it Lurline’s
No. 01
Always a set of two
Tote and pouch come from the same design, so they always belong together – on the shoulder or tucked inside.
No. 02
Three real layers
Outer fabric, soft batting and lining, quilted all the way through. That’s why the tote keeps its shape when it’s full.
No. 03
A picture you can feel
The lines of the Christmas scene are quilted, so they rise off the fabric. Run your fingers over it – it isn’t a flat print.
No. 04
Handles that hold
Padded and quilted, sewn in twice at the top edge – the spot where most bags give out first.
No. 05
Big enough for Christmas
About 43 cm wide with a 14 cm base – wrapped presents, two biscuit tins, a pavlova dish or a laptop and a book.
No. 06
The very last of them
About 310 sets remain. The sewing room closes on 18 December, and there will be no reorders.
How people use their set
The tote
- Presents to Nan’s on Christmas Day
- Biscuit tins for the street
- The salad bowl for the family lunch
- The shopping, library books, the church bag
The pouch
- Keys, lipstick and reading glasses
- Gift tags, tape and ribbon
- Knitting needles and a tape measure
- A toiletry bag for the summer holidays
Most customers tell Lurline the same thing: the set was supposed to come out in December. It never went back in the cupboard.

Questions people ask Tayla
Do I get both pieces?
Yes. Every order is a set: one large quilted tote and one matching zip pouch in the design you choose.
Is the tote big enough for real presents?
Yes. At about 43 cm wide and 38 cm tall with a 14 cm base, it takes several wrapped presents, two biscuit tins or a pavlova dish. Taller presents simply stand up out of the top.
Which design should I pick?
Her own favourite is the Cardinal. The two Gingerbread designs are the kitchen and baking-day choice, and the Navy designs are the ones people carry all year round.
When will it be sent?
Within 1–2 business days, with tracking. Tayla and Brodie keep sending sets out after the sewing room closes, for as long as sets are left.
Is this really the last of them?
Yes. Lurline has no apprentice, and there will be no reorders once these sets are gone.

Care & use
Outside: spot-clean with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry standing up. Please don’t put it in the tumble dryer.
Inside: shake it out and wipe the lining with a damp cloth.
Between seasons: most people never put it away. If you do, store the pouch inside the tote and keep it upright in a dry cupboard.
