"I have been sewing for 40 years, but my bags always looked a bit 'crafty'. Andrea's explanation of interfacing changed everything. My daughter actually asked if I bought the bag I made last week!"

"I was terrified of rivets and zippers. This course breaks it down so simply. I watched the videos on my iPad while I sewed, and it felt like Andrea was right there in the room with me."

Andrea Endroes - Bag Making Instructor
Meet Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Andrea Endroes.

I used to be frustrated with "homemade" looking bags. I realized that commercial patterns often skip the most important steps: proper structure and industrial finishing techniques.

I spent years adapting high-end manufacturing techniques so they work on a standard home sewing machine.

Now, I've taught over 7,000 students via the Make Designer Bags Academy how to create bags that look like they came from a boutique—without buying an industrial machine.
