A Special Bag for Book Lovers – Young & Old!
Books have always been special to me (oh, who would have thought I’d write a book myself?). I spent my childhood in communist Romania, and in our family of four girls, we didn’t have many books. But we read constantly—borrowing from the school library or from friends.
When I was about 12, my sister Oana (a year younger than me) and I loved reading so much that we often read the same book at the same time! Sometimes, we even tore a book in half just so we could read it simultaneously. Going to the library and picking out books were some of our favorite activities.
📚 Encourage the love of reading with a handmade book bag!
Many kids today don’t share our enthusiasm for books—but for those who still love the magic of libraries, bookstores, and gifting stories to friends, this book bag is the perfect companion! And the best part? You can sew it yourself!

Make Every Book Special
💡 For workshops, book clubs, or meeting a crafty friend – No more tossing books into big, messy bags. Keep them safe in their own special tote!
You can stitch the front of the bag in any technique you like. Here is my patchwork bag made with the technique of the Textured Bliss patterns.
