Who am I and why should you use my bag making tutorials?

Teri M. Bethel

I’m Teri M. Bethel, an author, book publisher, and professional interior designer who has ventured into textile art and designer handbags. If you’re unfamiliar with me, let me share why I’m qualified to share my purse-making techniques.

  • I’m a self-taught handbag designer who has developed an incredibly effective purse-making technique.
  • I’m also the designer of the Teri Monique line of artsy couture handbags.
  • I’ve gone from being unable to sell a wonky bag for $50.00 to selling custom bags for up to $800.00 each.
  • I’ve taught students in live and online classes for many years (now only via videos)
  •  I just don't know how to make bags; I have a knack for teaching you how to make great bags.
  • I’ve taught first-time and seasoned purse-making students how to make, improve, and increase the value of their handbags.
  • My purse-making techniques and tutorials have been approved for schools by The Bahamas Ministry of Education.

Extraordinary Experience

Very clear instructions, well taught! Excited to make my own! Recommend these videos if you’d like to learn to make your own structured handbags. Kristina dePass
