I am about to burst with pride and excitement; a lot like the hours leading up to Christmas morning!  Earlier this year I flew out to Colorado for a taping of Sew It All TV


It was an incredible experience and I feel blessed to have been asked to be part of such a professional show.  They asked me to design a laptop bag and then told me to let my imagination run wild.  After several brainstorming sessions I came up with a design concept based around a stylish woman who needed a the perfect bag for the week, from that the Work Week Bag was born. 


This bag is a stylish alternative to a briefcase!  The fabric shown is a men’s dress shirt fabric giving that wink and nod to the workplace.  Do not be afraid of this design because it has a zipper; I have included a Zipper Guide to show you step-by-step with color photos just how easy it is to work with zippers.

“I loved creating this project for viewers and being part of It’s Sew Easy!


Its Sew Easy offers a new concept to Public Television viewers.  The program does not feature a main host, but is based on designers and education that revolves around the experts.  The focus is on contemporary style, not age.
