New Pattern Alert! The Companion Set - Three Nesting Bags for Beginners 🧵✨

Happy New Year, lovely makers! I'm thrilled to introduce my brand new pattern - The Companion Set - your perfect starting point for mastering bag construction in 2025!

This brilliant trio features three gorgeous bags that nest inside each other like Russian dolls: Large bag: 23" wide - perfect for overnight trips or beach days Medium bag: 21" wide - your everyday essential carrier Small cosmetic bag - ideal for makeup, toiletries, or notions

Why You'll Love This Pattern: This is THE pattern if you've been wanting to learn bag making but felt intimidated by complicated tutorials. The Companion Set teaches you all the fundamental skills you need - from installing zippers to creating structured bases, boxing corners to adding interior pockets. Everything you learn here transfers to every future bag you'll make! Even better?

I've kept it beginner-friendly with minimal hardware and NO fussy fastenings. Just straightforward, confidence-building sewing that results in three beautiful, professional-looking bags you'll use every single day. The nesting design means they store beautifully and make the most incredible gift set. Make them in coordinating fabrics or mix and match for your own unique style!
