Handbag Workshop: Design and Sew the Perfect Bag
To be released: October 14, 2014
If, like me, your idea of making a purse has thus far been sticking an outside fabric and a lining together, adding a zipper, and a plain strap AND you find that you might be able to go a LITTLE more advanced — this book is not for you.
The beginner section is more like intermediate. There’s leather, suede, frames, hand stitching details like chains onto the bag. Not really something that most “Beginners” would be comfy with.
That said, if you are more advanced and not afraid of tougher fabrics, lots of little tweaks, etc you could use the patterns (18 total) to make bags as nice or nicer than some designer bags.
* Disclaimer: I received this book at no cost in order to review it. I offered no guarantee of a positive review, though I only request books I think I'll like because why read a book you think you’ll hate?
