Bag-maker always looking for ways to upcycle materials. I never make the same bag twice. If you want something uniquely you, for cosplay, a repair, or you want me to incorporate something you love into a bag, reach out!
This was so fun and such a unique bowler bag. Patterned fabrics are from My Handmade Space, geometric vinyl is a remnant from Joann (my local store which will soon RIP) and hardware from all over. And OH the pattern...Country Cow's Vekza Bowler. It's a dream to sew. #bagmaking #sewing #handmade

Here's a longer zip-around wallet, and this: Dissent matters, especially when outnumbered. Outside fabric pattern is RBG's famous collar, and inside, change goes into the "I dissent" pocket (gosh, I just realized that). All from @spoonflower-social.bsky.social. #bagmaking #handmade #idissent

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Not sure which way it'll go yet with this giant billboard that was headed for the landfill but so far, I've made 7 bags out of it. Pattern for style 1 is the Totes Cute tote from
@oklaroots.bsky.social. Additional info in thread. #bagmaking #handmade #reuse

Small remnant of some faux snakeskin commercial upholstery material FTW. Urban Tote pattern by Maggie Fifty-Five. It was *sew* fun to sew along with SewNaturalDane on Youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3Ax...

My kiddo's lunch bag, made with particle physics-themed recycled canvas from @spoonflower-social.bsky.social called "dark hadron" by scrummy. The bag pattern is from @sewsweetness.bsky.social. It's the perfect size and the fabric has survived four school years and looks like the day it was made. ❤️

I made this "Frida Kahlo" backpack using @sewsweetness.bsky.social 's Chickadee Backback pattern, and love it so much it's become my primary computer bag. Thanks for being on Bluesky Sara! #bagmaking #sewing #handmade

If I don't tag you as the pattern designer or fabric/hardware source, it's because I can't find you on Bluesky...yet. 😉 Please feel free to join, and then give me a shout in the comments for the item I made with your stuff. Hoping to help build the bag-making community here in the land of facts.
