Instructor Bio: Natalie is the designer and founder of Bodobo Bags patterns. She has been sewing and crafting for as long as she can remember, always drawn to exploring new techniques, material, and creative approaches. She draws much of her inspiration from the people she meets and the creativity they bring to their own projects. Teaching gives her the opportunity to connect with fellow makers, share her passion for sewing and be continually inspired in return. Her sewing journey began with garment making, which she focused on vthrough her mid-twenties before discovering quilting and becoming instantly hooked. Her love of creating eventually led her into bag making, and in 2012 Bodobo Bags was born. Today, her patterns are sold worldwide, with 12 designs currently available and more on the way.
