A GUIDE TO BAG MAKING

From picnics to hikes, casual afternoons, or fancy nights out, your bag is your best friend, and we have a huge range of bag-friendly fabrics for all occasions that we want to share! We're happy to share our comprehensive Bag Making Guide!

The Pattern

Indie sewing companies are creating some super versatile and modern patterns, so you can find almost any style you're looking for. We've collected some of our favourites that range from function-forward to fun and trendy.

The Fabric

We have stocked up on a huge selection of bag making fabrics which is what inspired this guide. From staple solids to fun and funky patterns, you can stretch your imagination to create the bag(s) of your dreams. We recommend going with a sturdy weave and mid-heavy weight to give your bag a good amount of structure so that it can keep its intended shape. Check out our canvas, twill, denim and specialty fabrics for your unique make!

The Notions

Whatever your pattern requires, from bag specific needs like straps and webbing to the basics like needles, we have a supportive and diverse range of notions. Add labels as an extra design element or have ready-to-wear execution with rings and sliders. Browse all of our bag making notions here!

The Kits

If you don't fancy yourself as a big decision-maker, then we make it easy for you with our pre-made DIY bag kits. Featuring the Atelier Brunette "Le Sac Banane," all the hard work is taken care of with the fabrics and notions already selected! We have the Flower Power and Autumn Joy in Ivy Green available currently.
