You donāt need a fancy machine to sew beautiful bagsāyou just need the right techniques.
The Sew Better Bags Collection is where beginner bagmakers go to finally get it. Itās a curated lineup of bundles that pair the Sew Better Bags eBook with my most loved patternsāso you can learn why your bags turn out the way they do and how to fix the things that have been driving you nuts (like saggy linings, thick seams that refuse to go under the needle, and not knowing which interfacing, needle, or thread to use).
Each bundle combines learning and doing. The eBook gives you the confidence, pro tips, and insider tricks that make your bags look polished and professionalāeven on a basic machine. Then, the pattern that comes with it lets you immediately put those skills to work.
Youāll learn how to:
šŖ” Choose and layer interfacing for structure that lasts
š§µ Sew faux leather and cork with ease
āļø Trim and grade seams like a pro
šÆ Create linings that fit just right
Whether youāre sewing your first tote, upgrading your zipper pouch, or ready to try something structured, every bundle in this collection teaches a skill that sticks with you for life.
And hereās the best partāthese arenāt just āpractice projects.ā Theyāre bags youāll actually use, gift, and feel proud to say, āI made this.ā
āØ Inside this collection, youāll find:
So grab a bundle, clear a spot on your sewing table, and get ready to sew the bags of your dreamsāconfidently, beautifully, and on the machine you already own.
This and all Amandaās patterns are absolutely amazing. I had not sewn for years and during the hit southern summer I decided to try my hand at my first tote was the āKathyā tote. All my family wants one. Second was the Joanna tote, my most recent purchase. Absolutely adorable and family wants this one too. So thank you for the easy to follow directions that as a bonus includes photos. I will be purchasing more.
The pattern is written so clearly, just like Mandy was here with me! I love the details she tells you about that you can add if you want, like magnetic snaps and rivets for added security on the pockets and itās so easy to customize pockets etcā¦ this was my very first purse project and it wasnāt the least bit complicated or stressful, so proud of how well it turned out
Pattern is clearly written, easy to follow instructions, I used the sizes in this pattern and applied to the Joanna pattern
I love it! It is made perfectly in every way! I couldn't be happier. Thank you for deciding to sell your work
this pattern was very well written and easy to follow. Since purchasing last week I have made 4 Joanne tote bags!
This was a fun and quick little project. I even found unique fabric for the stripes: the white has the words to The Star Spangled Banner printed on it (also in white so only faintly visible) and the red has pinwheels on it!
It solved my baggy linings and explained the different interfacings. Love it!
The pattern is great! Simple clear and concise. I loved using it!
Such a fun project! A great way to use up precious beautiful squares. After my first trial pouch, my family and friends want one for their very own!
I LOVE this pattern. As usual, pattern is so easy to read and these turned out so cute!!
Great pattern, directions and enjoyed making several!
Love this cute pattern. Canāt wait to sew it up!
Great pattern and easy to make.
