I’m so excited to share that my new book, Sew Bags: The Practical Guide to Making Purses, Totes, Clutches & More; 13 Skill-Building Projects, was published with C&T/ Stash Books on June 7, 2019.

I cannot believe that my book, Sew Bags, is actually in my hands. After more than two years of making the bags, writing the instructions, laying out the how-tos, drawing the illustrations, editing, then editing some more, while working with a publishing dream team, it is here. It still seems so unreal and exciting. I cannot wait to share it with all of you.

I am finalizing the details for my book celebration party, workshops and book tour and hope to announce most of the events in my July newsletter.

Book details and where to buy. You want to know all about that, right?

This book brings style and attention to designing and sewing your own bags. It features step by step instructions, along with pictures and full-sized patterns, to make 13 different purses, totes, clutches, and drawstring bags. The bags showcase current trends in handbag design-but draw on traditional sewing and construction techniques. It’s available widely at independent bookstores, online booksellers, and anywhere books are sold.

You can ORDER Sew Bags online through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound, Powells or locally.

SIGNED COPIES are available through my local, independent bookstore, Prince Books, in Norfolk, VA. Prince Books ships and delivers copies too.

For INTERNATIONAL ORDERS online visit website Book Depository or check local bookshops to place a special order. For wholesale accounts, please email sales@ctpub.com to contact C&T directly.

Who is ready to start sewing? XOXO
