organized with these sixteen different bags and purses, many
of which are designed to fit into your hand or shoulder bag
and keep your small items easy to locate. There are patterns
in here for a wallet, key ring, glasses case, bag organizer,
tablet cover, phone case and makeup bag to name a few, and
if you can bear to part with them they also make great gifts.
You don't need a lot of sewing experience to make the items
either; just the basics of working a sewing machine and the
techniques associated with making simple bags. At the front
is a list of what you need plus a section of basic skills
dealing with the sewing machine and making neat seams, putting
in a zipper, adding piping and snipping curves etc. The projects
themselves have written instructions only, so you need to
be beyond the staged photograph level, but none of the bags
are very large or complex. Each project has a page-sized photograph
of the item plus a cutting list, level of difficulty, size
and reference to whatever pattern pieces you need. These are
at the back of the book all numbered and full size so no tricky
resizing is needed. All the pieces are in a cheerful modern
style and are a great way to keep essential items safe and
available, as well as being a good way in many cases of using
up leftovers from other projects. I think my favorite is the
pencil case, ideal for the colorist on the go!
