Work smarter, not harder! Swap your thread once and do all your rivets in one go. It saves time and prevents a massive mess in a small sewing space!

Art fair weeks are about finishing touches. Binding, then rivets, and this batch of bags is done.

"I don't have hobbies..."

​Honestly, between eating, playing pickleball, bike rides, walking with friends, and family time, my plate is full! But this business? It really does consume my life in the best way possible.

​I put in a lot of hours, but I absolutely love every second of it. I never forget that what I get to do all day long in my sewing room is what others do just for fun—and it truly is always fun in here!

Thanks for supporting my business and making my dreams come true.

It’s the details you don’t see that make a handmade bag so special.

​New Tip: Using pinking shears to trim away the seam allowance on a curve is the ultimate secret to getting that beautiful, smooth finish on the outside.

​Every single step of the process is done by hand with love, precision, and a whole lot of care.
​All these little details are what set a handmade piece apart. Which style is the perfect match for you?

True confessions: creating is messy, and my sewing space currently looks like a tornado hit it. Thank goodness for a husband who just rolls with the chaos. Love you, David!

Real-life maker moments: forgetting the word "batting" and just going with "fuzz."
