I love the craft and skill that goes into each piece and you can just see the amount of care that goes into each project. This is a beautiful book. The bags are stunning and each one is unique and stylish. There are full sized double sided pattern sheets and each project comes with concise instructions, which are in written and a visual format. These bags cannot be made quickly, each one has a dedicated technique, that will advance a stitchers skills and give a stunning professional result. The designs vary from totes to backpacks and zippers and pouches. There is something for everyone. -- Tracy Shephard * Postcard Reviews * What a fabulous book. 28 bags from Japan that you are sure to want to make. When it says beautiful, believe it. The author has a signature style that really speaks volumes. Elegant and stylish. Great bag shapes, beautiful fabrics, practical style. These are bags you will be proud to make and own. Different patterns include purses, pouches, shoulder bags, backpacks, cases, totes and more. There really is something for everyone. I think that, like me, you will want to make each one. It is often hard to find something different in the bag world, but this book offers a unique and distinguished feel. Learn techniques such as patchwork, applique, embroidery and beading. Use scraps of fabric and turn them into works of art. Clear instructions with colour diagrams and photographs. Full size templates are given where necessary for pattern parts but you have to trace them. The finished bags look fantastic but I do prefer to make fabric handles. There is also a lovely embroidery sampler and a sewing case in redwork. An applique collage is also included. In addition at the back of the book, you will find basic quilting techniques with personal tips. This includes finishing techniques and making covered buttons. There is a short embroidery stitch guide. Most importantly at the the back of the book you'll find pattern sheets for all the projects - these are full size. They are to be photocopied or traced as the sheets are double-sided. I am happy to highly recommend this wonderful book. I cannot wait to see more of this author's work in print. Don't keep it to yourself, this is a book to buy for all your sewing friends and bag makers. Just as good as her first book, but a few less patterns. -- Karen Platt * www.karenplatt.co.uk * Inside this book are twenty-eight stash-busting projects, enabling you to use up lots of small scraps and produce some elegant and practical bags using patchwork and applique. One look at the cover and I was sold; a tote bag with a village scene, another with Hawaiian flowers and two elegant handbags. There are many different types of bag in here, from shoulder bags to clutch purses, bucket bags, a lunch bag and matching bottle caddy and even a sewing case. Bags have intricately pieced decorations involving hand and machine patchwork as well as embroidery and even some beading. Many motifs and designs are inspired by flowers. This is a book of projects for those who are already confident with these techniques, and although a short guide to the basics is included it is really more of a refresher course with tips. Projects do have coloured diagrams for most stages, rather in the manner of a paper dress pattern. These are well done and easy enough to follow together with the instructions for anybody au fait with the basics. There are separate cutting instructions, and project overview diagrams showing the anatomy of the bag which is a helpful feature. Measurements are given in metric and imperial, and at the back is a pull-out sheet containing all the full sized patterns. At the back are diagrams for making covered buttons plus a few basic embroidery stitches, and I found the whole layout of the book easy to follow. There are some beautiful bags in here and a fun way of using up not only scraps of fabric but also embroidery floss and beads. -- Rachel Hyde * myshelf.com *
