For years, you've asked if I sell the bags I make...
This week, I'm opening up my collection of one-of-a-kind studio samples. These bags have been sewn for pattern photography, tutorials, classes, and collaborations—and now they're ready for new homes.
Happy shopping! 🧵

I don’t just teach what to sew — I teach how bagmaking works.
My patterns focus on the process so you can build skills, enjoy sewing, and apply what you learn to other projects too.
I also teach beginner-friendly bagmaking classes and guild workshops designed for real-world sewing and confident results.
