I have the pleasure of introducing a new Janome Canada artisan to you: Meagan Botterill of “Made by Meag”. 
Meag *loves* fabric………the beauty, excitement, and potential locked away in each bolt and swatch. Luckily for all of you, she’s found a way to turn that love of pretty and fun prints into handbags, wallets, pouches, and so much more… which of course lets her buy more amazing fabric.
She works in a variety of styles with countless amazing prints and bag findings and is a regular fixture at Toronto Comicon, FanExpo Canada in Toronto, as well as a variety of other shows.
Her appeal stretches from here in Canada to Australia, so there’s no telling where you might see a ‘Meag Bag’ in the world. When she’s not sewing pretty things for you and your friends, Meag also teaches bag-making classes at her Workshop Studio in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
Made by Meag started in October 2015 and has been featured in The Walleye – Thunder Bay’s Arts and Culture Magazine . She has also been voted in the top 3 of The Walleye’s Best of Thunder Bay 3 years running.
Meagan has featured multiple times on CBC and her project bags can be found in a variety of Yarn Shops in Ontario. She has been a feature presenter for the Thunder Bay Art Gallery’s speaker series “Insight 20/20”
We are looking forward to working with Meag and featuring some of her creations and hints and tips for bag making here on janomelife. Watch for Meag’s janomelife posts!

I’d love to know where to order the purse findings, and think she’d be GREAT to have if we get to do another Janome Education Summit!

Hi SarahAnn
You could possibly suggest that to Regena?
As for purse findings, not sure our Artisans would offer their sources as they either teach bag making and /or sell the findings to their students and online. But feel free to approach Meagan.
I do know that bag makers in Canada buy from many of our local Quilt and sewing stores. Many carry the bag findings from Emmaline Bags which is a company based in Edmonton, Alberta. I believe these items are available online as well as a wide range of bag patterns.
You could also try our other new Janome Canada artisan: Celine at Blue Calla Creations. See her contact details on the post introducing her on 7th May.
