I have two say I'm really enjoying making bags. This is one I finished off today.

All the bags I have made so far have been made from YouTube videos, I want to buy some patterns any suggestions on where I can buy some would be great, I did a search on Google but didn't find much.

That is very nice @CraftyIrish :) sorry I do not know of any pattern sites. Have you tried looking on Pinterest?

I got rid of Pinterest and Facebook a while ago because I was getting hacked a lot and virus on my computer.

I like Spencer-Ogg and Samantha Hussey’s patterns.
Tomorrow’s sewing is the Compact Accordion Wallet by Diane Spencer-Ogg, I’ve printed my pattern, read the instructions and and picked out the fabrics and interfacing.
Hopefully tomorrow, I will have time to sew with no interruptions, fingers crossed.
I also want to make a simple tote bag for my GD, she loves a bag to carry and store her treasures.

@CraftyIrish as well as Spencer Ogg, look at Shamballa, Swoon, Maggy55, Blue Calla, Bagstock, ChrisW designs, RLR. Just a few of the many independent pattern designers. Some also have free patterns for download.

I bought a couple of books on bag making from Amazon but I haven’t made any bags recently.
These (I call them my Covid bags), are cross body bags from a YouTube channel ‘Shabby Fabrics’. There’s also a few dedicated groups on Facebook that make very professional looking bags with proper clasps etc. ‘Sewing bags and Accessories’.

I was looking at the bag first time round, but looked again and decided I could really do with your cupboards @CraftyIrish very nice.

@Gernella we have a very small kitchen not much room for anything, there was a stove there but it didn't have a back burner so it was no use to us, so my husband built shelving and bought doors for it.

Don't suppose you could lend him out for a couple of weeks could you @CraftyIrish , I could make much use of a man who could build those cupboards ;) DH's skills are mostly outside, gardening, machinery and tinkering. Only thing is he doesn't know his limitations, I do.

I have tried lots of different bag places and I mainly only use 2 people now:
Becky Alexander Frost (RJAF makes). She has a fb group and YouTube channel. I subscribe to her monthly group as well and we get lots of free bag pattrperns and tutorials as well as a little panel every couple of months. She will also provide 1-1 tuition if you get stuck - she is amazing and her patterns always work.
Spencer Ogg - patterns are clear, well explained and designed for domestic machines so there is never any struggling with bulk etc. She does do videos as well but I have found I need need them as her patterns are so well written.
