An Embroidery Machine Is Needed
I always appreciate when a design is depicted in different mediums and embroidery is a great way to translate said…
This is where the gears turn, the stitches fly, and the ideas don’t always behave. Bag Lab is a peek inside the design process—CLO 3D sketches, patternmaking rabbit holes, prototype victories (and disasters), and the evolution of an idea from “hmm” to “hell yes.” If you’ve ever wondered what goes into making a great bag—or just want to watch someone else wrestle with fabric and zippers—welcome to the lab. Safety goggles optional.

Over the holidays, I made approximately 90% of my gifts to give to others. Two of my favorite gifts were the Pokemon and Baby Yoda polar fleece hoodies I made for my two nephews. These hoodies were for me to enter into the apparel side of sewing. In the past, it has mostly been hammocks, bags and backpacks. I seem to have a fear of sewing clothes for some reason, but I think that fear is old and needed to be tested against 7+ years of sewing under my belt. I have to say, it’s not as hard as I had imagined! In fact, these zippered hoodies were a joy to construct.
When a friend calls and asks you to outfit their newest family members with matching custom fitted harnesses, you don’t don’t say no, you make them the juiciest harnesses around! I personally love how these custom harnesses came out.
