Bags, Bias Binding & a Pouch That Starts a Rabbit Hole: Welcoming Nina Snyder of Ten 7 Quilting to The Handmade Collective 🦶🧵

Warning: this session may result in a sudden obsession with zippers, hardware, vinyl, and saying "I can totally make that myself."

We are thrilled to welcome Nina Snyder of Ten 7 Quilting to the Handmade Collective - and her project alone is worth showing up for.

Who Is Nina Snyder?

Nina Snyder - known across social media as @NinaQuiltedThat - is the designer behind Ten 7 Quilting and a maker who believes great bags should work as hard as their makers.

She is a Legit Kits Certified Instructor with a love for clever construction and clean finishes - someone who finds beauty in the intersection of practical engineering and playful design. Her patterns are known for being smart, satisfying, and genuinely fun to sew.

When she is not drafting bag patterns or wrangling the quarter inch on a Foundation Pieced project in her Idaho studio, Nina is traveling - passport always ready - to teach makers how to build beautiful, functional projects with confidence. Her classes are known for clear instruction, designer shortcuts, and just enough humor to keep the seam ripper feeling unemployed.

In addition to teaching and pattern design, Nina also offers professional longarm quilting services through Ten 7 Quilting - helping quilters turn their finished tops into beautifully completed quilts.

She is, in short, exactly the kind of teacher you want in your corner.

Meet the Double Take Pouch 👓

Nina's HC project is the Double Take Pouch - and the description alone had us at "tiny demolition derby."

This quilted little overachiever is designed to keep your sunglasses and your reading glasses traveling side by side without turning your purse into chaos. Softly padded, slim enough to tuck into any bag, and cute enough to make people ask "Wait... you MADE that?"

It is beginner-friendly, perfect for fussy cutting and raiding your scrap bin, and dangerously giftable. Fair warning from Nina herself: once you make one, your glasses may suddenly demand a matching wardrobe.

Along the way, you will learn the building blocks of bag making magic, including:

• Quilting the sandwich

• Rounding corners like a pro

• Applying bias binding

• Setting a snap for that crisp, finished touch

These are exactly the satisfying little techniques that get beginners completely hooked on bag making. One minute you are sewing a glasses pouch. The next, you are staring into the glorious bottomless rabbit hole of zippers, hardware, vinyl, and "I can totally make that myself."

You have been warned. And you are going to love every second of it.

The Pattern Is Free 🎉

Nina has made the Double Take Pouch pattern completely free for the HC community. You can download it from the link in her Instagram bio, her YouTube channel, or directly from her website at ten7quilting.com.

She will also have a QR code available during her session so you can grab it right then and there. No excuses not to make one.
