Welcome to my brand new website!
They come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors. Weird and wonderful … useful and functional … or just plain decorative and fun.
Purses are a girl’s favorite accessory.
For those of us who love to make purses, there’s nothing better than a free purse pattern, and … WOW!!! … there are a LOT of free purse patterns around.
The listings included on this website began when I decided to share online my collection of links for free tutorials and patterns for totes, purses and bags. I originally had less than 100 links, but the listings have grown and there are now almost 400 links to free patterns and tutorials for purses, 
totes and handbags. The listings have grown so much in fact that I had to give them their own website just to keep up with them!
And you just know I love free tutorials for bags and purses and totes because I even offer one myself. You’ll find my Embellished Purse right here on my blog.

Thanks Sandra, I enjoy sending them out!
I think your new site is wonderful and love the email notices of new patterns and tutorials, without this I would forget to go look! I need all the help I can get. Keep up the great work.
I found this site while browsing around recently and I absolutely love it! It is the most informative site for making your own handbags, etc. that I have found yet. Thank you so very much for your wonderful site! and I can’t wait to receive emails and try out some of the great patterns I’ve seen!

The new improved site is simply fantastic.

You are the “one stop” for bag tutorials.
