"If you can cut a square or a rectangle you can make my purses." I became very tired of trying to figure out so many patterns that either were not clear enough to understand or the drawings were difficult to decipher. So, being a graphic designer, I decided that I could put my skills to use and create my own patterns in a very simple to use format that is quick and easy to understand. My goal is for you to be able to finish your pattern hassle free. And, if for some reason, you have a question about my patterns just shoot me off an e-mail and I will be happy to answer any and all questions. I am a purse junkie. I love any and all handbags and get excited seeing all the new styles. Turning a beautiful bag into a pattern is a work of art and you can make it better when you choose your fabric style and colors. I design stylish handbag and tote patterns in printed and PDF formats for your convenience. All my patterns have step-by-step instructions with easy to follow color pictures and graphics. I live at the beach and I am always being inspired by everything I see around me. I'm on a never ending quest designing items that I feel will reflect the relaxing beach lifestyle. I have been sewing ever since I was 8 yrs old. One day my mother handed me a needle and thread and showed me how to do tapestry work, from there I graduated to the sewing machine and have not stopped sewing since. I appreciate good quality fabrics and will travel to the ends of the earth for a yard of gorgeous fabric.
