The Superbloom tote is the perfect summer bag for taking to the beach or lounging by the pool. Minimal pattern pieces makes a quick sew but this bag is high on style! Side pockets have smart horizontal zippers where you can add a fun zipper pull like Nikki did with hers!

The chickadee backpack is a great way to express your style out and about - and be practical! It’s also a great diaper bag. There’s plenty of room, multiple pockets and it opens wide with hidden metal frames.

The Blazingstar bag is a crossbody bag with a front zippered pocket for items you want easy access to. A fully-enclosed recessed zipper serves as the top closure of the bag and the carry strap is adjustable. It's big enough to hold stuff but small enough to not be in the way 😍.
