Welcome to Ma & Me Designs

A modern take on handmade – where patchwork and quilting meet bag making.

Sewing that’s scrappy, sweet, and made to be loved — from modern patchwork bags to fun and practical pouches. Whether you’re new to sewing or a seasoned maker, my beginner-friendly patterns are designed to inspire confidence and creativity at every stitch. Here you’ll find projects that bring joy to the everyday and help you create beautiful pieces you’ll treasure or gift with love.

Where It Began…

Ma & Me Designs was founded on a love of sewing and creating modern handmade pieces. The name reflects the heart of the brand – making with care, creativity, and a thoughtful approach to design.

Early projects focused on small handmade items for babies, children, and the home, blending style with function. These projects shaped the foundation of the brand: functional, well-made, and beautiful creations that makers would treasure.

As the brand evolved, the focus naturally shifted to bag-making, pouches, and small accessories, combining patchwork, quilting, and practical sewing techniques. Every pattern and tutorial is designed to help makers create modern, stylish, and functional handmade items.

Over time, that love of making naturally evolved into a focus on bags, pouches, and practical sewing projects for modern makers.

Ma & Me Designs Now

I’m Kellie, the designer behind Ma & Me Designs.

I create modern sewing patterns and tutorials for makers who love turning fabric into bags, pouches, and small accessories. My passion is bag-making, whether that’s scrappy patchwork, simple quilting, or sleek whole-cloth designs. Every project is designed to be functional, fun, and beginner-friendly, so you can build skills, spark creativity, and sew with confidence.

All of my patterns feature step-by-step instructions, full-color photos, and flexible designs that can be personalized with your own style and fabric stash. From patchwork pouches to statement bags, every pattern is made to be sewn again and again — for yourself or as thoughtful handmade gifts.
