An orange tabby cat look down at a brown hobo bag with small, cream-coloured cats embroidered along the edge of the bag, along the front zipper pocket, and in two rows along the length of the shoulder strap. They are both seated on a stone wall in front of a wood fence.

A three-toned brown handbag in the shape of a cat face sitting on a stone wall in front of a wood fence. The gusset of the bag extends up past the front flap of the face to form the shape of cat ears.

A small rectangular saddle bag with a front flap of vinyl printed a drawing of various cats stacked behind one another sitting on a stone wall in front of a wood fence. The bag's strap is draped in front of the flap on the stone and is debossed with the word "Handmade" across the length of it.

JUST DROPPED: Finally got around to listing several of my handcrafted bags, including these cat-themed cuties just in time for #Caturday. 🐾

This is what happens when you think about bags too much. Yesterday, while making dinner, I realized I had closed my pasta bag like this last time. #bagmaking #craftmanship

Detail of the front of the bag. A sewn strap and snap button strap keeps the front pocket closed.

View of the inside of the bag, zipper open. The bag has an orange lining, side pockets and a lanyard for keys.

My bag is done! Such a fun sewing project. The pattern is Apex carry from In complete stitches. I've used fabrics that I had stashed, leftovers from other projects mostly. The white fabric is a tablecloth my grandma used to have, complete with old […]

A half-finished tote bag turned inside out with raw seams visible and still missing its lining

Every time I sew a bag it is the most fun ever and I want to do nothing else.
I guess I really did use enough interfacing here since the bag can support it's own shape standing up like this! Very pleased. Also, go trusty old sewing machine, the seams […]

Doing all I can from my little corner of the world, and resisting with some things that bring me joy, like making these adorable bags for two sweet little ones in my life.

Photograph of a handcrafted satchel sitting on a stone surface in front of a wooden fence. The front body features a damask-like print of various helmets from STAR WARS. The rest of the bag is colour-blocked in coordinating colours of brown, grey, cream, and mustard, accented with black nickel hardware.

This is the second #StarWars themed satchel. I still need to attach the handles and sew up the crossbody strap, but I seriously love this one. Same pattern/theme as above, but a totally different vibe. 🫶🏻

Photo of an in-progress, mid-sized black and white satchel bag sitting atop a cut of lining fabric printed with the walls of the Death Star. The bag has all matte black hardware except for the strap connectors, which are nickel and shaped like Stormtrooper helmets.

Finishing up two satchels today. Both are variations on a #StarWars theme, but TOTALLY different. This is the first…😉

My last bag of 2025!! My absolute favorite way to spend the last day of the year, sewing and laughing along with SewManyCreations mystery sew-along! A fantastic afternoon and a super fun new pattern!

#BagMaking #Sewing #MysterySewAlong

Pink fabric pieces, cork with tiny white flowers pieces, coral cork pieces, a pink striped zipper, and two rose gold zipper pulls.

I made this recently for a friend who needed a specifically sized pouch for some medical supplies. Of course, I had to get a little bit fancy and add some applique because just because it’s practical doesn’t mean it can’t be cute too!
