She’s here! The Motherload Tote!

The Motherload Tote! Truly the mother of all bags is ready, willing and able to keep up with your busy family. I really love it and think of it as more than just a bag but as mom survival gear. Here are her features. Click the photos for a closer look.

Half the fun of designing something is seeing the different interpretations from talented sewists like my testers. I have great team and they contributed mightily to what the Motherload has evolved into. They added the bells and whistles that make this bag a joy to carry! Thanks team!

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by! I’m Sarah. I love to design and write sewing patterns. It’s a great way to justify the absurd amount of fabric I own! I live in Kansas with my husband, two sons, and a dog named Bear. I hope you find something here that inspires you to break out your sewing machine.
