Love bags? So do we. Join us for our monthly Bag Makers' Club, where we explore a new, fabulous pattern the second Sunday of every single month.

This series is fully flexible—sign up for the whole year or just drop in for the bags that catch your eye. It is the perfect way to learn new techniques (hello, zippers and grommets!) and meet fellow makers in a fun, social environment.
