My 
Story

Hello! My name is Wendy. In 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to learn how to sew.  I began by making masks--lots and lots of them--and then quickly grew into creating bags.  Since then, I've fallen in love with the art of sewing and the joy of making something both beautiful and useful. I am passionate about finding unique fabrics, sometimes even thrifted, and given them a new life by turning them into functional totes, market bags, and zippy pouches.  Each piece is handmade by me, designed to be one-of-a-kind, and created to add a little fun to everyday life. ​ Little Things by WENBUM is exactly what it sounds like: little things made by me, Wendy Bumgarner.   I am so excited to share my journey with anyone who loves handmade treasures-whether it's for yourself or as a special gift for someone you love. ​

What Makes My Bags Special

Unique fabrics

Every bag starts with the fabric.  I love hunting for pieces that have character-sometimes with a bold print, sometimes it's a thrifted dress or a forgotten curtain just waiting for a second chance!

Designed for everyday use

My bags aren't made to sit in the closet- they're built to go where you go.  From grocery runs to weekend getaways, coffee shop mornings to baseball practice pickups, each tote, zippy, and carry-all is made to handle everyday hustle!

One-of-a-Kind

No mass production here-every bag is handmade and totally unique.  I mix and match fabrics so each piece has its own look, its own personality, and its own story.  Than means when you snag one, it's the only one like it!  --yours!
