My first bags - a bag for swimming and one for choir
February 2, 2024This was the first bag I created. Devastated by the news that the material shop in our small town was closing - I bought this flowery canvas material for next to nothing. In a sewing frenzy I experimented with different models and ended up with several! One for swimming and one for choir. The reactions from my friends were very encouraging and that was the start of my new hobby and the birth of 'bags of memories' although the labels (inspired by google) and website (a birthday present from my sons's) came later.
At Bags of Memories, Sara transforms cherished memories into beautiful, handcrafted bags. Using fabrics sent by friends and family—often old blankets, jackets, or sentimental pieces from loved ones—she creates unique, one-of-a-kind bags that carry a story. Each bag is a piece of art, infused with personal history and love, perfect for keeping those special memories close.
