You don’t need a fancy machine to sew beautiful bags—just the right techniques.
The Sew Better Bags Collection is your shortcut to learning the why behind what makes bags look professional (and how to fix the struggles that drive you nuts—like saggy linings, thick seams, or not knowing which interfacing, needle, or thread to use).
Start with the Sew Better Bags eBook to learn the techniques, then choose a bundle to put your new skills into action.
Each one teaches a skill you’ll use forever:
🪡 Choosing and layering interfacing for structure that lasts
🧵 Sewing faux leather and cork on a basic machine
✂️ Grading seams and boxing corners for clean results
🎯 Getting linings that fit just right
These aren’t “practice projects.” They’re beautiful, functional bags you’ll actually use—and be proud to say, “I made this.”
✨ Inside this collection:
✅ Everyday totes and zipper pouches for mastering the basics
✅ Structured, stand-up styles for building confidence
✅ Polished designs made for cork, canvas, or faux leather
Whether you’re brand new to bagmaking or ready to level up your skills, this collection has what you need to sew with confidence.

I just want to give a shout out to Be Mandy Things! First of all her patterns are beautiful and have very explicit step by step instructions on how to complete these beautiful designs. I had an issue that my email was not accepting the links for the patterns that I had purchased, and she personally reached out to me and patiently worked with me until everything was straightened out and I was able to receive the links for the patterns. I can't wait to start creating these beautiful items, and I know Be Mandy Things will be there if I have questions along the way. Looking forward to a long relationship with this company-thank you Be Mandy Things!
