Brenda Dean is an Australian bag designer with a passion for quilting and sewing.
Through her designs, she shares creativity, practicality and a love for beautiful fabrics, encouraging makers of all skill levels to find their own “Happy Space” in bag making.
Alongside her bags, Brenda is a keen quilter, and the same eye for colour, pattern and detail runs through everything she makes. Her bags are designed to be both beautiful and useful, the kind you will reach for every day.
In Bag Bonanza!, she brings together 23 original projects with clear step-by-step instructions and full-size patterns. Each one is written in her warm and practical style, so that beginners and experienced makers alike can sew with confidence.
For Brenda, sewing is about more than the finished bag. It is time to slow down, play with fabric and enjoy the making, and she hopes every reader finds that same joy at their own sewing table.
