Hi! I'm Chris Murphy, the founder of Simply Classic. On my channel, you will find bag making tutorials, designer-inspired DIYs, sewing tips and tricks, and more. I appreciate the opportunity to share my process, tips, and makes with you all, and I love to see what you create too! Tune in to my weekly livestreams, Thursdays at 7pm ET.
Like many sewists, my sewing journey began as a young girl with my mother as my teacher. Simply Classic was born in 2020 and stems from a true passion to create one-of-a-kind handcrafted items. Today, we offer bag patterns, Italian leather, faux leather and vinyl, fabric lining, hardware, sewing notions, and all your bag making essentials. Shop now at www.simplyclassic.net.

I had a fantastic time teaching at Cali Quilt Co this week. Thank you to everyone who joined my workshops! We made four different bags, and everybody did a truly wonderful job.
Next up: Sac Bag N Sew starts on Friday! Let me know in the comments if I'll see you there.

How strange to spend a Thursday evening without the Bag Maker's Workroom! In case you missed it, we're taking a break from the weekly livestream until November — but don't worry, I have some fun new videos planned in the meantime.
The reason for the break is that I'll be traveling and teaching bag making workshops around the U.S. Take a look at our events page to see if I'll be at a shop near you- simplyclassic.net/pages/events

What bag should you make next? Use the first letter of your name to choose your faux leather color, then your birth month to choose a pattern.
