Online bag-making community in the UK, connecting bag makers to share tips, resources, and inspiration for crafting handmade bags
Deborah Jameson

When I first started bag making one thing that struck me was the community and I am now so passionate about helping people develop their bag-making skills. The community I have built offers a wealth of resources, such as The Bag Makers Sew-Ciety Club, The Bag Makers Sew-Ciety YouTube channel, the free Facebook group The UK Bag Makers Sew-Ciety, my Bag Making Blog posts and through The Bag Makers Sew-Ciety Podcast. Whether you're new to the craft of bag making or looking to take your skills to the next level, there will be a part of the community that is perfect for you.

 

You may be wondering how the community and teaching side came to have a different name to the supplies side of my business, well the community side really developed by chance I set a Facebook group called it the Bag Makers Sew-Ciety, people started to ask questions I started to make little videos to help explain techniques etc and the rest is history.

​

I really have a deep love for teaching and for the community as a whole and I am committed to expanding and developing this side of my business over the coming years so watch this space for where Me Made Makes and The Bag Makes Sew-Ciety will be.
