I still can’t believe this is real, but I WROTE A BOOK!! 

The Bag Maker’s Companion is a practical, confidence-building guide for sewists who want to make durable, custom bags using budget-friendly materials and domestic machines. Includes 5 base patterns that can be downloaded, each with multiple adaptations explained. The base patterns are a sling, an every-day crossbody, a large tote, a small boxy bag, and a unique zipper pouch. Patterns include full written instructions, video tutorials created specifically for the book and downloadable templates.

Where to buy the book:

• Amazon
• Amazon UK
• Barnes and Noble
• Walmart
• Bookshop
• Books A Million

Until April of 2027 the book will only be available for preorder through major retailers. I will update this list as I find it available.
