Bag Making is FUN! Issue #322 - June 1, 2026 | | | |
Hello & Welcome!
So...I'm a couple days late with this edition because I've been "busting" it, trying to get this new pattern to the point where I can get the testing packages out to our amazing testers b4 we go on vacation next week! Long story short- I made it! And that means we are still on target to publish this pattern sometime in mid-summer. Yay! | | | |
| |
But that brings up the next thing... which is, due to this vacation, there will be no mid-month Newsletter. Our next Newsletter will publish on or about June 30th, because all of us can benefit from a little time away, right? So while I start finishing up & packing up, I hope you enjoy this issue of "Bag Making is FUN"! | |

News for Thought- Will the Fall of JoAnn's Trigger a Crafting Revival? | |
When I heard that Joann's was closing all 800 of its stores nationwide, a wave of sadness washed over me—not just for the loss of a familiar retailer, but for what it represents. I can’t help but feel a deep sense of loss. This isn’t just about the closure of a store; it’s about the end of an era that my mother, Aleene, (of "Aleene's Tacky Glue") helped create.
