Hi, I’m Nancy! I started sewing when I was in 4th grade making clothes for my Trolls and selling them for a quarter. My mother was our family seamstress so I had a great teacher and started making my own clothes when i was in Jr High. So it seems I have sewn all of my life. I bought a nice machine in 2013 with the hopes of quilting and ended up being a bag maker first! I do quilt but bag-making is my love! I have taught many classes in quilt shops and in my home and it is always fun to see people get excited that they can actually make a purse! My goal is always to make it NOT look handmade! I love using quality cork, faux leather and recently even used corduroy (who knew that would have a comeback?)! Here are a few pictures of some of my most recent makes.
Thanks!

my favorite wallets to make and to carry!
Talk about detail! Her patterns include QR Codes for each step and
Erica explains and shows every single step! I would say it is for the
more advanced Bag Maker. My bag is made from Leopard Print
Cork from SewManyCreations, and Rex Vinyl from Emmaline Bags as

make some bags out of Corduroy and they are just beautiful!
