Some bags are pretty. Some bags are practical. And every once in a while, a bag comes along that does it all—style, function, flexibility—and still feels fun to make. That’s exactly why the Metro Moves Clutch & Crossbody by Thanks! I Made Them. Sew Can You LLC, has been such a standout in our sewing room lately.
Bianca, the designer behind Thanks I Made Them, has a talent for creating patterns that feel modern, bold, and completely wearable. Her designs celebrate creativity without being intimidating, and they invite you to try techniques that elevate your skills while still feeling approachable.
The Metro Moves pattern is a perfect example of that balance. Clean lines meet thoughtful construction, and the result is a bag that feels just as at home running errands as it does heading out for dinner.
One of our favorite parts of working with independent designers is getting to hear the why behind a pattern. In our exclusive interview with Bianca, she shared her journey as a designer, what inspires her to keep creating, and how the Metro Moves bag came to life.
What makes Metro Moves especially fun is how versatile it is. This is truly a multitasking bag. With a few simple strap adjustments, it transforms effortlessly from a clutch to a shoulder bag, crossbody, or even a waist bag. It’s the kind of design that works with your lifestyle instead of forcing you to choose just one way to wear it.
The quilting adds texture and interest, while the bias-bound seams on the inside are one of those details that make you smile every time you peek inside your bag. It’s polished, practical, and thoughtfully finished—exactly what we love in a handmade accessory.
