Now that The Complete Bag Making Masterclass is beginning to drop into your mailboxes, we're delighted to be able to share with you the details of some of the designs with our Project Spotlights!

We are sew excited to announce the early release of The Complete Bag Making Masterclass!

"Help! I'm new to bagmaking! Which sewing pattern is best for beginners?"

Have you got something too bulky to sew? Stick a rivet in it! Need to reinforce a bag pocket? Stick a rivet in it! it!

If you're new to bagmaking, then rivets can sometimes seem a bit intimidating. You have to punch a hole in your bag - what if the hole is the wrong size? What if the rivet doesn't go in right and ends up squashed or wonky?

Don't worry; we're here to help! In our riveting masterclass, Mrs H discusses how to use a rivet press, how to use a rivet anvil and setter, how to choose the right size rivets for your handmade bag, the difference between single-cap and double-cap rivets, and how to avoid squashed rivets.

To celebrate the release of The Bucket Tote, we went live on Facebook for a video sew along. We've transferred all the sew along videos over to our YouTube channel, so now you can sew along too!
