Discover my approach to bagmaking that helps you sew store-bought–looking bags with clarity, joy, and confidence—even if you’re just starting out. At Be Mandy Things, I believe that bagmaking should feel empowering—not intimidating. Whether you're a beginner or returning to sewing after a break, you deserve patterns that make sense, tools that work, and bags that look store-bought but are proudly handmade.

I’m here to prove that you don’t need to be a professional to sew beautiful, functional bags. With the right guidance, sewing techniques, and approachable projects, bagmaking can be one of the most rewarding creative hobbies. It blends artistry and utility—and every bag you make tells a story.

Through my patterns, tutorials, and insider tips, I aim to remove the overwhelm and help you fall in love with the process. Bagmaking is more than sewing—it’s confidence building, it’s joyful, and it’s something you can do.
