Welcome...

About

Hi my name is Jess, the smiling face behind Wish upon a Rainbow. I have been making, creating and selling bags since 2019, and I have come a long way since then

I specialise in making magical and park hopping bags for everything from holidays to everyday life.

At the moment, the shop is closed as I work though a wait list I started last year, but I will be opening for a Ready to Ship sale later in the year

Next Opening

Halloween

Halloween sale will go live at 7:00pm on Sunday 14th August at 7:00pm

Small restock of best sellers at 7:00pm on Sunday 18th August at 7:00pm.

Smaller is always cuter right? This tiny appliqué was a challenge, but what @chasingchildhood asks for she normally gets 😂

What do we think,can I go even smaller 😂

Pattern is the bitty bug bag by @carolinalittlestitches!

I haven’t formally introduced my new collaboration with @deerheartprintco, The Manor - inspired by I think the best Mansion out there. This is probably Amy’s best work yet and the detail in this design is incredible, and it’s been specially worked to get the best fit on so many patterns as you can see!

The details continue with a custom printed lining that will match the bag, as well as crystal ball zipper pulls. My favourite is probably the backpack design, but there are so many great bags here and they’ll all be available on Sunday as well as again in the future!

Huge thank you to Amy as ever for being so wonderful to work with .

Come spend a relaxing afternoon designing and sewing a new pink Halloween bag with me 🥰 I’d love to know what you think of probably one of the more surprisingly complicated bags I’ve made so far this year!

I asked everyone what they used their tiny pouches for and I had some great answers! They seem to be used for everything! Lots of people filling them with the essentials and then moving them from bag to bag.

There is a new chonky size in town as well for when you need just a little more storage space.

All of these and more available this weekend on my website 🥳🥳

I love making custom bags, and this one inspired by the Tortured Poets Department was so much fun to make. I think this would work for all of Taylor’s Eras though as well, different colour schemes for the different eras.

What do we think, did I capture the TTPD well?

Huge thanks to @themaskedmedusa for such a fun custom request!!

A little bit about one of the directions that I want to take my bag making business in and why I want to take it in that direction!
I hope you are going to love these Halloween patchwork Crescent bags as as much as I am loving making them!

Before I went away I was asked to test the new @knottedthreadsco pattern, the Adena. And wasn’t she a beauty, you know I had to take it with me for a little photoshoot at Lago Di Braies.

I went with a lemony print, perfect for summer and paired it with two yellow vinyls, as this bag is made for colour blocking! I can’t wait to make another one. Shannon has as ever thought of everything with this bag, from Bulk reduction down to a gorgeous statement pocket.

The pattern is available now for 15% off on the knitted threads co website 🥰

All of the magical bags and pouches I posted out last week, it’s been really varied the last few weeks! Which is fun but doesn’t make for the most productive😭😭

My take on this trend but reflecting on the sewer I was, compared to the sewer I was now!
Honestly learning to sew bags now is so much easier than it was back then, there were far fewer resources and materials available to us! Now there’s every zip colour under then sun, so many patterns, and tutorials! But in a way I’m pleased I had to go through all the trail and error myself as I know it’s made me the problem solver I am today 🥰🙌🏼.

I wonder what the next 8 years will bring.

Just a lil game of peekaboo with the tiniest pastel pouches you ever did see… blink and you’ll miss them 😂! which one’s your fave?

I’m working on making one up with every single clear print I own after work at the moment as a little fun side project! So expect to see more of these cuties

I was going through some pictures from previous sales, and realised I had taken this picture of this fun sunflower collection and never shared it. I thought with the beautiful weather we are having it would be the perfect thing to share.

I just love making and using clear pouches so much at the moment, what’s your guys opinion on clear pouches, do you love them, or prefer fabric ones? I’d love to hear your opinion, as summer comes I’d love to make more of them!

This is the bag that takes me the longest to make, thanks to all of the different stages that go into making those 3D wings, but I absolutely think that it’s worth it! ⚡️🌈💡

We all know figment is my favourite little dragon so when someone asked for a sling version I couldn’t wait to make it happen, and I’m so pleased with it.

Clock the outfit change as it took me two days to work on while I waited for the wings to dry 😂

Happy Easter everyone, 🎉🎉 🐣🥚🌸🌷🌼

Hope you enjoy my super fun creme egg bag that I made for myself to wear to celebrate the season, it looks amazing on, like stuch a statement piece 😂 I even had to make a cute matching keyring for it. Come back tomorrow and I’ll show you how I made it!

If you made it this far let me know what your favourite Easter egg flavour is?!

A love letter to the main three things I’ve gained from being a small buisness owner, friendship, community and memories.
I went into running my shop thinking it was all going to be sales and creativity, and while that’s been great, I never could have predicted the entire way it would change my life. And the amazing amazing people I had gained along the way, including you if your reading this 🩷❤️

No matter, how long I get to keep doing this for I am so greatful for every single person I’ve met through this 😘 hopefully I can stick around a bit longer as I’ve got loads left to show everyone 😉😉

Say hello to my favourite bag I made this week, very much giving✨ Fantasmic feels and park day dreams! ✨.

I just adore navy and teal together, unpaired with the iridescent vinyl this backpack is one of my favourites that I’ve made so far. I’ve really been enjoying the backpack patterns this year and I’m so happy with the finish that I’ve got on them now. I also love that I’ve been able to make them so sizing inclusive, and if you order one, I can adjust the straps to ensure that it will fit in no matter what your size!

what theme should I make into a backpack next, do we need one of these for a ready to ship?

Let’s see if I can actually stick to the plan today…

I challenged myself to finish two things—did I manage it? Stick around to the end to see what I got done, and a sneaky peek at the dreamy fabrics I’ll be diving into tomorrow!

(Also: someone please hold me accountable…😂😂😂)

Come back tomorrow to see what I make with those fabrics—and tell me in the comments which one you’re most excited to see as a bag!

If you’d told 2016 me that I’d be making bags for a living, I probably wouldn’t have believed you… but here we are! ✨

I started sewing as a creative escape when I was struggling to find my path. Then I trained to be a teacher, realized it wasn’t what I thought it would be, and found myself turning to bag making more and more. Bags always fit, and apparently, so did owning my own buisness, who’d have known 💖

I’m planning to do more sewing and chatting—so if there’s anything you’d love to ask, drop your questions below! ⬇️

Big versions or tiny versions that’s the question? Leaning into the cringe content today, and the outtake reel is even more hilarious. Featuring ears by @thesewdoughco.
I’m definitely a fan of the small versions of everything they are just so cute, yet practical.

POV: You have way too many beads left over from last year’s Eras Tour, so obviously, you turn them into a bag and it has to be lover themed of course ✨🎤💖

It’s Friday so time for a roundup of everything I posted out this week, lots of different bags, some Mav Packs, some Backpacks, some clutches, and even a giant Erica Bowler bag. Featuring my ever supportive husband 😂

If you could take only one of them home with you which would it be?

Can’t wait to see what I get to make next week.

Bag Showcase, the Itty bitty bowler bag!

A cute bag perfect for taking out on an evening, or if you just like to carry the essentials! It features a slip pocket underneath the front flap which will fit an IPhone Pro Max. There’s also a pocket inside for keys, or other small valuables. This version has a vinyl strap, but you can also have a classic seatbelt webbing strap for more comfort.

Shown modelled on me; a size 20/22, 6ft tall 😅😅😅

I’m hoping these style posts will help people see better what style of bag would suit them, this is a new style I have been offering this year, and it’s my favourite, and as we can see by my dress im a big Punzie fan!

Happy Valentines day to the true love of my life, crafting 🩷❤️

Have you made anything this year? I spent so long, focusing on sewing, that I lost a lot of love for other craft that I enjoy doing, and it’s been really nice over the last 12 months to pick up some old and new hobbies that I used to love doing! And I love Valentine’s Day, so it was just so lovely to get creative!

Hope your all feeling loved today 🩷❤️

I won’t lie when someone chose this print, inspired by the popcorn boxes in the most magical place at earth, for a custom circle bag order, I was a little unsure what I was going to pair with it. But sometimes the prints that challenge us the most are the ones that I am happiest with when they are done!

Do we like seeing some of the work that goes into sewing bags?

My second version of the Picese addon pack for my tester handbag was this saddle bag. I have wanted a classic saddle bag pattern for ages, so I was so excited when I saw this option, and it is definitely worth buying the addon pack for.

The black and pastel colour pallet is a favourite of mine so I love this simplistic but effective design on the front flap of it! I definitely see more examples of this design coming to the shop. What do you think, too simplistic or Classic?

For my sewing friends the Picese pack to make this bag is available from @knottedthreadsco now, with a discount this weekend!

It’s still only January, and I’ve already ticked off one of my goals for the year, pattern testing again! Of course it was for the wonderful @knottedthreadsco, and the new Pieces add on pack for the popular Aries will be available for purchase later today!

I loved sewing this bag, and all the new features the pattern has, there are so many pocket options. Of course I had to make this super fun valentines one to match all my best dopamine dressing outfits. I love how a chain strap can make it more of a baguette bag, or a seatbelt makes it a conventional crossbody bag.

This bag uses the new strap connector, the interior slip pocket and the overlay zipper, to add even more pockets to this bag.

It’s still only January, and I’ve already ticked off one of my goals for the year, pattern testing again! Of course it was for the wonderful @knottedthreadsco, and the new Pieces add on pack for the popular Aries will be available for purchase later today!

It’s time to run a competition, I’m not sure what the prize will be because it’s for in 12 months time. But I’d love it if you took a guess how many items in total you think that I will sew this year to completion. This includes everything that I make from pouches to bags to clutches and we will come back to it in next January. 🩷❤️ I’m hoping to smash last years total!

Hello everyone and welcome to Wish upon a Rainbow 2024 wrapped! Surprising everyone I kept up with logging everything that I made in 2024, so I’m here to share it with you.

I’d love to know if anything surprised you?

I’d also like to take the chance to say thank you so much for all your support in 2024, despite it not being the year I planned (no shock there) I’m really proud of what I managed to achieve and just how many things I made and got out to everyone. And all of that is thanks to your support, so Thankyou and I hope 2025 is as great!

Wishing I was back here with a gingerbread in hand! I love this ginger bread backpack that I sewed for my latest trip, to Disneyland Paris it worked perfectly with my outfit, and snack! Disneyland is honestly the most magical place at Christmas, give me that over WDW any day of the week 😅😅

Hopefully I’ll feel a bit better soon as I can’t wait to get into the office and sew some of these backpacks up! Especially now I know I can make them using part cotton fabric too! Christmas backpacks Should we make a couple of them? Let me know what you think!

A moment for my favourite bag of the trip. Being able to make bags has its uses, as I made this icecream drip Mav Pack to match my @dollyanddotty dress! Honestly I felt like a princess all day, I got so so many compliments!

Jennifer from @wishes.in.wonderland did a fab job with the custom matching ears as well.

I think we need bags to match all our dresses! If your reading this still, it’s your sign to dress however you want to dress as when you do, your confidence will come through and you’ll be amazed how many people notice 🧡🩷

I know you have all wanted a classic park backpack for so long, so I finally cracked and made one before my trip and honestly … I loved it.

It felt such nice quality and it was so spacious and great for days in the parks, and still looked great at the end of my trip! I loved this safari theme too it was perfect for animal kingdom.

I’d love to know what you think, I’ve always been reluctant to make this style of bag because there are already lots of backpacks like this out there, but perhaps there is still some space for some Wish upon a Rainbow ones?

Why have one bag when you can have two bags in one!? Wear them either side out, for a different print either side. Bags available tommorow to buy at 8pm BST. #halloween #spookybags #halloweenbags #mnsshp

It’s been one year to the day since I launched my favourite ever bag collection, which was of course a collaboration with @deerheartprintco. @thesewdoughco pumpkins really helped it feel like I was in my own pumpkin patch.

I may not be creating as much at the moment, but I still wanted to share some autumn and fall joy with you as we enter the best time of the year! Hello September 🧡💛🤎 Hopefully I’ll have a few of these bits ready to ship at the end of the month.

Thanks for sticking around

I had the absolute time of my life on Monday seeing Taylor Swift at London Wembley. I very much am just a baby Swiftie but it was honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had, and getting to experience that with 3 of my closest friends made it so much sweeter 🩷

You know I had to make a special bag so hand beaded this lover bag, as I had the perfect fabric to evoke the album cover! Definitely think I should do some more beaded bags what do we think?

Make sure we scroll all the way to the end to see the bag in all its glory. Excuse the backdrop it was a quick video I took after I made it, as put it this way, the bag didn’t come home with me so I haven’t been able to film more content 😅

It’s been a busy 10days cutting, sewing and posting off lots of magical bags, it’s been very varied as well! Not two bags have been the same.

Which was your favourite?

P.s when will I get off the Chappell Roan train?!? Don’t know don’t care, my fave song at the moment is California but it changes daily.

I got to sew one of my favourite bags last week, this Figment inspired circle bag, and I timed how long it exactly took, pausing every-time I had a break etc! Have a guess how many hours and minutes it took start to finish.

Whoever’s nearest will win a little prize I’ll send you in the post! You have until Saturday the 27th at midnight to have a guess!

Time to grab your bestie, your favourite pumpkin bag and head down Main Street USA as spooky season starts to arrive.

I can’t wait to have a Halloween bag drop soon! I have some big plans for some cute new designs, as well as this amazing pumpkin patch design returning 🧡🧡

Do you prefer an autumnal colour pallet, or more spooky purples blacks and bright oranges??

I love dopamine dressing so much. 🌈🌈 It really has helped me finding my confidence in my body, and puts a smile on my face! And having magical and wonderful bags to match is really a great way to tie an outfit together, so I have started making bags that match my outfits!

Do you love wearing pastels? Should these be something I bring to the shop in more bag styles?
