Welcome to the Community
I’m Sherri Nelson,
I’m Sherri Nelson, and I’m truly glad you’re here.
This expo was created to bring our sewing and bag-making community together — a place where we can learn, share, and support each other. Whether you’re a beginner, a seasoned maker, or simply curious, I hope you find inspiration, new skills, and a sense of connection here.
Thank you for being part of this growing community. I look forward to meeting you at the expo.
About Sac Bag ’N Sew Expo
Sac Bag ’N Sew began with a simple question: why doesn’t Northern California have its own sewing and bag-making expo?
From that moment, the idea turned into a mission — to create a place where bag makers and sewists could come together, learn from one another, and build a warm, supportive community.
Our inaugural event, held September 12–14, 2025, exceeded every expectation. We welcomed incredible instructors, hosted inspiring classes, and featured a vendor hall filled with diverse, high-quality bag-making supplies.
And this is only the beginning. This year’s expo, August 21–24, 2026, is shaping up to be even more exciting. We’re adding an extra day to introduce full 8-hour workshops, offering deeper, more immersive learning experiences. Many of our amazing teachers are returning, and we’re thrilled to welcome new names — including Kassiah from Siah Swag Bags and her sister Susan, Sarah and Debbie from Salty Sews, Gabbi from Wonderground Fabrics, and Leslie from Jolee Creations.
With more classes, more inspiration, and more opportunities to connect, 2026 promises to be a truly unforgettable year for everyone who joins us.
