Curated 2018–2025 masterclass, monthly live sessions, guided projects, and a proven system for designing your own bags.
Hi friend,
If you’ve been following my sewing and design journey, you know I taught myself to sew in 2006, then designed and sold thousands of custom bags on Etsy. Along the way I launched Sewspire.com and our YouTube channel to share simple-shape, function-first bag designs that visual learners can follow and make their own.
In 2018, I created a bag-making masterclass to teach my design methodology to makers who want to design and customize their own bags and accessories. Many makers have gone through the program—here’s what Usha shared after the July–August 2025 session:
“Torturing your brain for what you thought was an easy bag pattern is the fun part of AMC. It wasn’t stressful for me, and I enjoyed learning every step of the bag designing process. I hope I will improve by participating in the upcoming AMC sessions. Thank you, Andrea, for designing these sessions for us.” — Usha
