Take a breath. This is one of those topics that makes a big difference. 🧵
If you grabbed the Interfacing Guide, there’s a good chance you’ve experienced this before:
You follow a pattern.
You add interfacing.
And the bag still doesn’t look or feel the way you expected.
That’s because interfacing isn’t just about picking a product — it’s about understanding how structure is built and how different layers work together inside a bag.
Things like:
Once those pieces start to click, interfacing stops feeling confusing and starts feeling intentional.
The Interfacing Guide will help you make better choices, but a question I hear all the time is:
“Okay… how do I use this when I’m actually sewing a bag?”
That’s exactly why I created Sew Better Bags — a beginner-friendly guide that connects the dots between materials, structure, and construction so your bags turn out the way you picture them.
It’s the guide I wish I’d had when I was tired of guessing and wanted my bags to feel more polished from the inside out.
No rush.
Start with the Interfacing Guide, and when you’re ready to take the next step, it’ll be here.
Come on — let’s sew. 🧡

I was looking for a simple pattern that I could use for my charm squares. This pattern was the perfect solution. Thanks!
Great information and very helpful
This was a very good pattern. The directions were simple and clear. I would certainly buy a different style if available. Thank you!
