Offering a versatile selection of bag patterns, this fun introduction to bagmaking, ‘Design & Make Fashion Bags & Purses’ uses simple interpretations of fashionable shapes. The author states that most of the bags should be able to be completed in a weekend, and some in just several hours. They are relatively easy due to the logical construction methods.
An informative chapter on Materials and Techniques will get you on your way – advice is offered on woven, non-woven and knit fabrics, and on fusibles and stiffeners. Tools that you will require include scissors, hammer, fabric punch, pliers, pins and needles, markers, chalk, buckles, D-rings, and a sewing machine, among others.
The patterns, which include a feathered evening purse, comfy slouchy shoulder bag, backpack and pendant purse and more, need to be enlarged to full size from graphs, and there is a handy section on creating your own patterns too. Each project has step by step written and photographic instructions, which are easy to follow. Full lists of tools and supplies are given for each design. Softcover, 160pp. Julia
