Question Bag Making Supplies

For those of you who make bags, where do you get your canvas fabrics, waxed canvas, and bag supplies? There isn't much around me locally, and would like to know of any quality online shops. Thanks for your help!

This company has everything plus it's in Canada so you would be getting it all at a 30% discount.

Love Emmaline bags!!

Other places to shop not mentioned:

Kam snaps- rivet presses and rivets

Simply Classic- all types of bag supplies and great videos

Sew sweetness- bag making supplies, great patterns and videos

Weaver’s Leather- all types of leather and supplies. I’ve been to the store, always the best customer service.

Joanns- I buy all my stabilizers when they are50% off. Most of the time they have decovil light and heavy by the bolt online.

I second Sallie Tomato. Also Wawak Sewing Supplies has a lot of hardware and notions for bag making.

another good web site for resources is Sew Modern Bags

https://sewmodernbags.com/bag-making-resources/

They have an Amazon store, and the web site has lots of free & paid patterns, tutorials, videos and even a link to help you sell your patterns:
https://sewmodernbags.com/sell-your-patterns/

I have taken advantage of their tutorials, but have never bought from the store.

I like the charms that I use for zipper pulls. They make a cute one with minimal engraving. Mine say "by Autumn". I've ordered several times.

Zipperstop is my source for YKK zippers of all sizes and colors. Especially those 30 inch with 2 pulls bag zippers.
You can order direct from zipperstop.com or their store on Amazon.
