The most popular shapes and styles are presented in this collection that offers complete directions for making twenty two bags with designer-type details. Each bag is photographed in full-colour and features close-up shots so you can really zoom in on the extras to make, like mobile or PDA cases or removable pockets and many have rings to hook things on to and practical pockets sewn into the bags. Additionally, most have couture style details like a special trim, or unusual hardware, or an interesting handle treatment. Full step-by-step directions for each project, with templates and cutting layouts included, make creating the bags a cinch. Inventive, chic and tasteful, there are bags for a wide range of occasions and uses. Among the fun styles are a faux Kelly bag, a trendy bowling type bag, a quilted bag with matching accessories and a gray felted bag trimmed with pink stitching and heart-shaped cut outs. A delightful mix of couture details and practical function make these designer-style bags worth making.
