If you grabbed the Mini Bag Maker Resource List, you’re probably tired of this cycle:
Scrolling.
Bookmarking.
Wondering if a shop is legit.
Second-guessing whether you’re buying the right thing.
Finding good bagmaking supplies shouldn’t feel harder than sewing the bag itself.
That’s why this resource isn’t a generic list — it’s a curated, clickable guide filled with shops and products I’ve personally ordered from and trust. Hardware, zippers, interfacing, tools, and all those hard-to-find bits that make bagmaking feel smoother instead of frustrating.
You don’t need everything on the list.
Use it as a reference when you’re planning a project or thinking, “Okay… where do people actually buy this?”
Once you know where to shop, the next question most bagmakers ask is:
“How do I choose the right materials so my bag turns out the way I picture it?”
That’s where understanding structure, materials, and construction together makes a big difference.
I put that next layer of guidance into Sew Better Bags — so you’re not just buying supplies, but actually using them with confidence.
No rush.
Start with the Resource List, save it for later, and come back to it whenever you’re planning your next bag.
Come on — let’s sew. 🧡
Instructions were perfect! Easy to follow and understand. My bag came out beautifully!
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!
I have not made this yet. I love the size of this bag so that’s why I got it. It looks easy enough to do.

This is an easy, step by step pattern. I have never installed a zipper and with the detailed instructions I was able to add the zipper and create a professional looking bag!
I am new to bag making, and having such detailed instructions, made this not only easy, but allowed me to complete a successful and stunningbag on the first try!
