Simply Sublime Bags: 30 No-Sew, Low-Sew Projects
The key thing to notice with this book is the subtitle – no-sew and low-sew, with this in mind and if you are after something different then give some of these projects a go. Many of the project and perhaps the whole book is perfect for teens who want to make something a bit unique, use recycled materials and give their project a personal touch. The instructions are good – with basic shapes and patterns for bags included – good illustrations and nice colour photos.
Best project – for me I really liked the pillow cover hobo bag – simple basic sewing skills required and you get to use up all those bright retro pillow cases you have been hoarding. Grooviest project – the ‘wonder bag’ a plastic makeup case made from heavy clear plastic used to cover couches or outdoor picnic tables. – its made by ironing the seams together and adding a fun decal to decorate. Weirdest bag – Envelope bag made from a silver bubble mailing envelope (but still pretty cool). Ugliest project – none of the projects are really ugly – but the placemat purse – just didn’t do it for me – but then – with a different placemat… Fun and funky book for teens or those just young at heart.
