Welcome!

Here at Scrap-bags I design and sell sewing patterns for handbags, purses and totes, as well as quilts and other items.

We test all of our products as products, then we revise them and write the sewing patterns. We then test the sewing patterns with a number of testers to insure the patterns are accurate and easy to understand.
