Acclaimed author and quilter Susan Briscoe presents an irresistible
new collection of patchwork bag designs to excite and inspire
bag-lovers everywhere. From exquisite evening bags to practical
portfolios and robust rucksacks, each project is presented with
full step-by-step instructions and illustrations, allowing you to
create your own unique accessories with ease, and prompting the
question wherever you go, 'where DID you get that bag?!' The book
features 21 gorgeous patchwork bags produced from 13 basic designs,
specifically with quilters in mind. Each bag is shown with
variations in colourways or adapted for a different purpose, to
inspire you to take the designs further. These bag designs allow
quilters to explore several new techniques on a small scale, while
making something useful and beautiful at the same time. Essential
information is also included on fabric selection, secure
fastenings, and comfortable carrying straps and handles. With this
book you will be able to: make practical bags for your quilting
essentials; produce exquisite gifts for friends and family;
embellish away with charms and creative stitching techniques;
create designer solutions to your carrying needs; and add a unique
twist to old favourites. Beautiful photography of the finished bags
is accompanied by detailed step-by-step photographs and piecing
diagrams to guide you through each design, while a useful
techniques section at the back of the book covers patchwork
techniques including cutting fabric strips, machine piecing
patchwork and how to create patchwork blocks such as Seminole,
triangle squares, flying geese, log cabin, as well as foundation
piecing and crazy patchwork. Applique and quilting techniques, both
by hand and machine, are also included, along with specific bag
making techniques such as making and attaching bindings, how to
insert a zip, making straps, adding pockets and inserting linings.
A stitch library of decorative stitches you can use to embellish
your bags, advice on fabric colour themes and a patchwork block
library complete the book.
