Hand Trendy Pro Tips

Here’s my heartfelt advice after sewing (way too) many mini totes: use a fun thread color for topstitching to make your bag pop, and always press your seams as you go for that crisp, professional finish. When turning your bag right side out, gently poke the corners with a chopstick for that perfect shape. Want to customize? Try adding a little pocket inside, or swap one side for a solid color to really highlight your floral fabric. And remember—handmade means unique, so tiny “imperfections” are just personality!
