Half Yard(TM) Bags & Purses

Beginner-friendly patterns for twelve gorgeous bags and twelve matching purses from an Immediate Media British Craft Awards Sewing Designer of the Year. 

This fantastic new book from bestselling author Debbie Shore contains twenty-four projects: twelve bags and twelve matching purses. Choose from flowery patchwork totes, backpacks with faux leather detailing, clasp-top clutches, cute floral messenger bags, practical folder holders and a stylish business travel bag, all complete with a matching purse. Each purse is made in the same style and from the same fabric as its corresponding bag—mix and match the bags and purses or make yourself the pair.

Each item requires no more than half a yard of outer fabric, plus all the necessary hardware, trimmings and lining. All the instructions you need are provided in Debbie’s clear, friendly style, along with inspiring, easy-to-follow photography, and any templates required are included at full size. There are also QR-coded video links, providing additional support and advice from Debbie.
