Thank you for joining me in this fun sew-along! I can’t wait to make some really cute bags with you!

We are going to be making an awesome bag, perfect for Spring outings and fresh Spring wardrobes. Best part? YOU get to customize your bag with whatever fabric you want! (I’ll even be sharing some tips on how to customize your bag even more).

I will be sharing live Facebook videos, at least one a week, maybe two depending on life and how my schedule (kids) cooperates. The videos will break up the sewing into manageable chunks, and will give you a chance to catch up and ask questions as we go.

I will also be sending emails with materials lists, patterns, and video recaps, so make sure you are subscribed to receive the emails, too.

This is my first time doing a sew-along like this, so I am REALLY EXCITED, but also aware that there may be a learning curve to make this the best possible experience for everyone. So don’t hesitate to give me feedback.
