Growing Bagmaker Bundle - 3 Essential Bag Patterns

You've made a few bags and you're ready for projects that stretch your skills without requiring specialty tools or complicated hardware.

This bundle brings together three digital bag patterns that build on the basics: the Joanna Tote, Mae Zipper Tote, and Marg Tote. You'll practice pockets, structure, and closures while taking on projects suited to a confident beginner.

What's Included (3 Patterns)

Joanna Tote: A structured everyday tote with interior slip pockets and a magnetic snap closure. Make a roomy bag for daily use while practicing a tidy lined interior.

Mae Zipper Tote Pattern + Video: A roomy, structured tote with a zippered top and six interior slip pockets. The pattern includes instructions for fabric handles or webbing, and you can sew it on a domestic machine without installing hardware. It uses a cut-and-measure format with no templates. The written PDF includes all instructions, with private video support from zipper construction through about two-thirds of the pattern. Mae measures approximately 18.5" W x 11.5" H x 6" D.

Marg Tote: A large, structured project bag with a 7" deep boxed base. Its generous scale gives you practice handling larger pieces and shaping a roomy bag.

A Comfortable Next Step

These patterns build on familiar bagmaking basics while giving you room to practice new details. Joanna introduces pockets and a magnetic snap, Mae adds a zippered top and useful pocket organization, and Marg gives you practice with a larger structured shape. You don't need specialty equipment or a foam stabilizer to get started.

This bundle may be a good fit if you:

• Have sewn a few bags and want to keep building your skills
• Use a domestic sewing machine
• Want to try pockets, closures, and larger bag construction
• Prefer clear written instructions, with video support included for Mae
