British Patchwork & Quilting
These 8 bags are professional projects using many materials, mainly fabric but also faux leather. They are graded from beginner to advanced. The introduction deals qith tools including hammers and punches plus sewing necessities. The techniques using pattern pieces, adding interfacing and top titching follow. Pocket making is an introduction to the techniques.
The first projects use interfaced and lined fabric. They are sturdy with solid bases and metal stud feet. Later items add faux leather. The bags have metal buckles, swivel clips, rings and other professional attachments.
Numerous photos and very clear detailed instructions make this an inspirational text book for even nervous bag makers (like me).
