Join Amanda of Be Mandy Things for fun, beginner-friendly sewing workshops. Learn to sew tote bags and more in a supportive, hands-on class environment.
Want to sew a bag that looks store-bought, even as a beginner? Join me for in-person workshops where I’ll guide you step by step. No fancy machine required — just bring your supplies, and I’ll help you create a tote you’ll love.
Scroll down to see current classes I'm teaching!⬇️
You can find me teaching classes at Bits & Bobbins Quilt Shoppe in Newberg, OR - Classes are on Hiatus until September
My classes are designed for beginners — I’ll share tips I wish I had when I started, and make sure you leave with a bag you’ll love.
I love bringing bagmaking to new sewing communities! If you’d like me to teach a class at your quilt shop, guild, or event, please fill out the form below. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Even if you can’t make it to one of my in-person classes, you can still sew right alongside me at home. I’ve got patterns, tutorials, and resources that make bagmaking fun and beginner-friendly.
Great pattern, directions and enjoyed making several!
Love this cute pattern. Can’t wait to sew it up!
Great pattern and easy to make.
Best written instructions I have ever seen. Thank you for being so thorough in your instructions.
I really loved making this tote. But trying to find the other 2 patterns. Could you help with that?. Thank you.
I love it!! Can’t wait to start. I am just finishing off a quilt and looking forward to trying some tote bags😊
I get excited every time I see a new pattern. I appreciate your hard work getting the patterns to work out so perfectly. I love the outcome. Thanks so much.
It is very helpful in sewing better bags.
