Trade ReviewThe best book on bags I have ever seen. 19 fabulous bags to sew. Techniques, tip and know-how are all included plus full-sized templates. I love sewing books that give full-sized patterns, so this book is ticking all the boxes. Clear instructions, easy-to-follow and fantastic photos.
The projects are graded by skill and have suggestions for size and fabric differences. My favourites are the Evelyn Clutch, Miranda Bag and Stephanie Bag. You can make 76 bags with this book.

This is one of the best books we have seen. With 19 fabulous projects, beautifully photographed, full-sized patterns and 76 stylish variations, it certainly ticks all the boxes. Although aimed at the beginner, with plenty of basic techniques and clear easy-to-follow instructions, there is still enough interest and variety in the designs to engage more advanced sewers, too, with patterns and techniques that'll enable them to create their own designs. The projects are all graded by skill and have suggestions for size and materials. Our personal favourites are the Stephanie bag, Miranda Bag and Evelyn Clutch.
