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.
I’m not a beginner bag maker, but by no means an expert either and I found this book to be a great resource. Lots of useful tips and I love that Mandy has included sources for different things in bag making. A well put together source of information and will be a go to for me. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into this!

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!
