The maker behind the bags.

Handmade in small batches from a little workspace at home in California.

Hi, I’m Jen, the maker, designer, and heart behind Wood & Threads by Jen.

Every bag you see in my shop is handmade in small batches from my little workspace from home in California, where my kitchen table often turns into a mini studio filled with linen, thread, fabric scraps, and a cup of coffee always nearby.

I’ve always found comfort in creating things with my hands. What started as simple sewing projects slowly grew into a passion for making pieces that feel beautiful, useful, and intentional. I love stitching textures together: soft linen, double gauze prints, quilted layers, and suede zipper pulls, and turning them into everyday essentials people truly enjoy using.

My goal is simple: to create pieces that bring a little calm, beauty, and function into everyday life.

Cut, quilted, stitched, and packaged by me.

  2. Quilted linen pouches in five colorways02Quilt
  3. A printed lining inside a finished pouch03Stitch
  4. The sewing cart with a tray for each step04Package

I put time into the details: the structure, the pockets, the zippers, the inside seams, because I want each piece to last and feel special.

When you shop from my small business, you’re not just buying a bag. You’re supporting the work I do from home while balancing motherhood, family life, and the joy of building something that’s truly mine.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing handmade. And thank you for supporting my little corner of creativity.

With appreciation,
Jen
