Behind the Seams

Welcome to Behind the Seams โ€“ a place where every stitch has a story.

This is where you’ll find more than just finished handbags. Here, I share the journey behind each creation, from choosing fabrics and reclaimed leather to testing new ideas, filming sewing videos, and capturing life in my studio.

Whether you’re interested in how a bag comes together, enjoy watching the making process, or simply love handmade craftsmanship, I hope you’ll enjoy following along.

You’ll find my latest YouTube videos, studio updates, blog posts, behind-the-scenes moments, and a closer look at the creativity that goes into every Made by Nette piece.

So grab a cuppa, have a look around, and come behind the seams with me.

Take a look around my little sewing studio!

This is where every Made by Nette bag begins. It may be a compact space, but it’s filled with fabrics, reclaimed leather, sewing machines, and plenty of creative ideas. Come behind the scenes and see where the magic happens.

๐Ÿˆ Behind the Seams: Meet the Supervisor

Every workshop has someone responsible for quality control…

At Made by Nette, that job belongs to Kira.

While I was cutting the leather panels for my Mosaic Hobo Bag, she decided it was the perfect time to carry out one of her regular inspections. Thankfully, everything met her exacting standards!

One of the things I love most about running Made by Nette is that every bag has its own story. Sometimes it’s about choosing the perfect leather, sometimes it’s learning a new technique, and sometimes it’s simply sharing a quiet moment in the studio with a curious cat who likes to be involved in everything.

These little behind-the-scenes moments are just as much a part of the handmade journey as the finished bags.
