"Monika is a bag designer and sewing educator who loves helping makers design bags their own way. She works with sewists who are comfortable at the sewing machine but feel unsure about how to turn an idea into a pattern.
Through her membership, the Bag Maker Community, Monika shows makers how to draft bag patterns from scratch, adjust sizes, and add their own design details. She teaches in a practical, easy to follow way that focuses on understanding the process rather than memorising steps.
Monika believes learning to draft your own patterns gives you more freedom, more confidence, and a lot more creative fun, even if you are just getting started."
