Tinker’s Pretty Big List of Online Bag Designers & Pattern Sellers
It’s been a long time since I posted anything, busy with building the business and all. So I wanted to update the blog with something useful.
Here’s a list of all the bag pattern designers I was able to find recently. As I did with Tinker’s Big List of Online Fabric Stores in Canada, you’ll also see the store’s physical location (if they disclose it) so that you have the option of shopping locally. I know a lot of you have a definite preference for either paper or PDF patterns, Canadian or non-Canadian, etc., so I’m organizing them in a way that I hope helps you to find what you’re looking for. I also indicate whether they offer free patterns and/or tutorials, or hardware and other bag supplies.
As always, if you have a suggestion for an addition, find a dead link, or just want information you don’t see here, let me know in the comments. And if you don’t see your favorite designers here, let me know and I’ll add them.
And hopefully some of you will join us in our upcoming bag-making classes!
Here’s the key to explain the chart:
PDF = Patterns available in PDF only
PP = Patterns available as printed only
BTP = Both types of patterns available
H = Site also sells hardware or other supplies
F = Free patterns and/or tutorials available
