I have learnt to make bags simply through the generosity of crafters in sharing their patterns and tutorials online. The willingness to share with no motive other than the joy in giving never ceases to impress me! This post has a list of some of the free tutorials on how to make bags that I have found online. I will continue adding to the post from time to time.
