Lier’s Bag Construction and Sewing Techniques – Free Series

A Free Bag Sewing Tutorial Series

ikat bag construction tutorials

Full to the brim with excellent theory and clever sewing tips within each of the chapters below may answer a lot of your “why’s?” while learning to construct and sew bags.  Anything else I can say about Lier‘s free bag construction blog series will be an understatement. This series is an incredibly AWESOME resource for anyone who wants to know, not just how to design bags, but how to put them together correctly using very basic sewing techniques that everyone can use, with other unrelated sewing projects.  Did I mention this brilliant bag making series is free?

Be sure to thank Lier while you’re there!
