It started with a simple search for the perfect sewing machine bag.

We wanted something that would protect the machine, carry all the extras and make getting from one place to another easier — without looking like a piece of equipment. We couldn't find one.

So, we created our own.

Handcrafted in South Africa, Make It & Take It sewing bags are designed for makers who want practical storage, thoughtful details and a bag they’re genuinely happy to carry.

And because practical doesn’t have to mean ordinary, each one has a little personality of its own.

Why You’ll Love It

Designed around the way you actually sew.
More than somewhere to put your machine, each Make It & Take It bag is designed to make packing, carrying and arriving with everything you need a whole lot easier.

Full-opening access
The front opens right down so you can see and reach your machine, projects and supplies without unpacking the whole bag.

Room for more than your machine
The generous depth leaves space around your machine for fabric, patterns, works-in-progress and the extras that always seem to come along.

Everything has its place
Dedicated interior storage keeps your sewing tools and smaller essentials organised, while clear PVC pockets let you see exactly what you’ve packed.

Structured protection
Light padding, piping and a reinforced base help the bag keep its shape while giving your machine added protection on the move.

Made to be carried
Strong webbing handles and durable zips are designed for regular use, with selected versions also available with an adjustable shoulder strap.

Useful long after the machine comes out
Once you unpack your sewing machine, the bag keeps working as a project bag, creative carryall or spacious weekend companion.

Practical by design. Distinctive by nature.
Because something this useful doesn’t have to look ordinary.
