“My 5-day challenge bag. I made a couple modifications to suit my preference: a top zipper instead of handles, and side rings so the shoulder strap is removable. I love the finished bag.”

Meet your instructor
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.
The 5-Day Challenge is where I show you those techniques on one complete bag, step by step.
