The Capsule Bag Collection

The five Capsule bag families: duffles, totes, boho totes, bucket bags and chain shoulder bags in many fabrics

Five Designer Bags, One Collection

Sew the bag. Skip the homemade look.

Own them for life, only this week.

These five courses are normally not sold on their own: they are only inside an Unlimited membership, without lifetime access. During this launch you can own all five for life. After Thursday, 11:59 pm ET, the offer is gone.

It is not your fault your bags look homemade. Most patterns skip structure and finishing. But you do need those two steps if you want a bag people ask about.

More than 10,000 students learn bag making with Andrea.

“Here’s pictures of my completed Boho Tote! There were so many new things in this course for me. I really learned a lot from this course from the snaps, leather, working with leather glue, what a mess...lol It’s finally done, now to decide on what to do next.”

Diana Short Van Kleeck · Boho Tote

Capsule collection: a small set of pieces that work together. Here: five bags, from weekender to evening bag.

Andrea Endroes, bag making instructor Finished Metro Duffle bags

“I used to make floppy bags too.”

When I first started sewing bags, I would buy expensive fabric, follow the pattern exactly, and the result would still look… homemade.

I realized that commercial patterns often skip the most important steps: proper structure and industrial finishing techniques. I spent years adapting them so they work on a standard home sewing machine.

In these five courses I show you every one of those steps, bag by bag. Andrea Endroes

Each course ends with a finished bag, not a sample.

Fay Weinstein finished her second Boho Tote. Tonya Cross resized the bucket pattern for her own brand.

“This is my latest project. I used the Small Bucket With Eyelets pattern under Premium Bucket Bag Bundle. I adjusted it (made it taller and wider) to meet my needs and my brand’s aesthetic.”

Tonya Cross · Premium Bucket Bag Bundle

Without structure and finishing, expect:

Every one of these comes down to steps a pattern does not show. Five courses show them, close up, bag by bag.

Is now a good time to start a five-bag collection?

You do not sew five bags at once. You pick one, finish it, and the others wait for you, for life. The offer does not wait: after Thursday it is gone, and these courses go back to being Unlimited-only, without lifetime access.

One bag at a time. Lifetime to finish.
