Introducing MEL's Bag of the Month Club

for Machine Embroidery Lovers

Join MEL as she shares her story every month by unveiling a new bag design that you can complete from the comfort of your home.

We invite you to grab a friend, choose some of your favorite materials, jump in with both feet, and embrace one of the things you love to do most: create.

Each month, on the 21st, a new bag design will be released, featuring gorgeous Machine Embroidery, maybe with some appliqué and/or quilting thrown in.

In addition to getting a beautiful new pattern each month, you will also have the chance to connect with machine embroidery lovers just like you all over the world in our private community.

That’s part of what makes this club oh so special - we will all be working on our bags together throughout the year! Sharing our own adventures with our bags, celebrating our wins, and enjoying the time spent together with our machines.

But these bags aren’t just any bags… they’re bags made with your very own two hands.

Something money can't buy.

Reminders that you can create something beautiful.

The bags you make during this year will give you a creative outlet, a way to keep your mind busy, and a space where you can connect with others all around the world who share your passion. Plus, they’re a great way to use that stash you’ve been promising yourself you would get to. Solids, unique prints, fun materials… they all have a place in MEL’s Bag of the Month Club!

Each step you complete reveals something else beautiful - and at the end you'll have produced something you never would have believed you could do.

These are the best designs! They stitch beautifully. The videos and instructions are very clear and concise. Very enjoyable. And the support from Sarah and the group is invaluable!

Sarah explains everything in a way that is easy and seems like I have a trusted friend right there with me every step of the way.

The January Bag: Call Me Chic Phone Organizer

MEL wants to start the year out right and stay connected with the people she loves... making sure her phone is always at hand. She stitched up this beautiful phone organizer to keep her phone, ID, and money right by her side. This way, she can check on her children, video chat with her sweet grandchildren, and keep in touch with her family that’s hundreds of miles away. The included pockets are just enough to hold her essentials like her ID and a couple of cards for making quick purchases.

When she does leave the house for essential groceries and quick errands, she can grab her phone organizer and have everything she needs all together without having to fumble with a large bag and her groceries. Convenience meets style!

MEL is proud that she can say “thank you, I made this!” (and you will be too) when someone admires it and loves that it features beautiful machine embroidery to give it a look you can’t find anywhere else. The Call Me Chic Phone Organizer was such a hit with her friends and family that MEL is working on more to give as gifts throughout the year in each person’s favorite colors!

Your bag. Customized and worn your way.

The Call Me Chic Phone Organizer measures 4" x 7" and includes 4 different front flap designs so you can choose the one you love the most, make multiple and switch them out, and just have fun with this pattern! It includes instructions on how to make the bag a crossbody bag and how to add loops so you can wear it on your belt. There's also an option to add a clear pocket to hold your ID. Make it the way you will enjoy and use it most without investing in new designs or patterns - it's all included.

I must tell you again, I love your projects and your detailed instructions, even a beginner could do your projects without fail. I have done your projects in the past as well as many other designer's projects -- no one compares to you and your meticulously detailed projects!

~ Carol Y~

How precise Sarah’s instructions were! Made the learning experience so much easier. I couldn’t have picked a better person to learn from and I was totally in the dark about who she was and how good she was. And including a FB group to the mix so that I could get help and read other problems people were having and being able to learn how they solved it. This was truly the best!

~ Elizabeth S ~

And this, my friends, is the sign of a great designer who produces designs to a professional standard, backed up by excellent instructions - the bits that have to match, do so, exactly, without the pulling and pushing that's so often needed to achieve the same result. Thank you Sarah!
