It’s a fact of life that every girl loves bags, and it is never
possible to have too many! I’m still putting this theory to the test…
This book will give you a taste of how quick and easy (not to
mention fun!) it is to make your own bags, choosing fabrics and
embellishments that you love!
All the bags featured are simple to make and many of them are
suitable for even total beginners who’ve never picked up
a needle and thread in their life. By choosing the fabrics and
colours carefully you can have a selection of fantastic bags
to cover all occasions.
You don’t need expensive or specialist equipment to make your
own bags – just a basic sewing kit and sewing machine. The key
to making fabulous bags is to choose the fabrics carefully. Look
out for materials that inspire you – they could be bought from
haberdashery stores, or from the internet, or you could even use
cut-up clothing! Add buttons, beads and sequins, ribbons and
braids, or anything else you like!
Bag handles and accessories are becoming ever easier to buy
– the internet has a vast selection of suppliers, where you can
find all you need. Handles come in a variety of styles and
materials, from sophisticated metals and stylish wood to funky
coloured plastic, so you can get the look you really want.
This book should inspire you to make bags that suit your own
style and personality – and hopefully have fun while doing it!
Happy bag making!

fabulous fabric
Choose two contrasting fabrics which work well together. I’ve
chosen a floral cotton fabric with a retro feel, and matched it
with a cotton spotted fabric in green. Both the fabrics should be
made out of the same fabric (e.g. cotton). They are also paired
with a bright yellow cotton as a lining fabric – for linings you
can be as bold as you like with colour to really make it stand out
when you peek inside the bag!

When dry, place the front and back panels of the bag
together, right sides facing each other and pin along
the sides and bottom. Sew these three sides together. Do the
same with the lining fabric.
4
Turn the bag through to the right side and press flat.
Keep the lining inside out. Push the lining inside the
bag and smooth so it fits properly. Fold the top edge of the
bag over two times so that it covers the lining and there are
no raw edges showing. Press with the iron and pin in place.
Sew around the top edge.
1
Cut two pieces of floral fabric, each 26 x 24cm
(10 x 9
2
⁄
5
in), then trim two pieces of green spotted fabric,
each 26 x 11cm (10 x 4
3
⁄
10
in). Cut two pieces of yellow fabric,
which will be the lining of the bag, each 33 x 26cm (13 x
10in). Pin the floral fabric to the green spotted fabric along
the 26cm (10in) edge, right sides together, and sew. Open
the seams and press with an iron.
2
Cut two lengths of red gingham ribbon with a width
of 1.5cm (
5
/
8
in), each 26cm (10in). Use fabric glue to
carefully stick the ribbon along the join of the fabrics and
leave to dry completely.
5
Cut four lengths of the 0.5cm (
1
/
5
in) width red
gingham ribbon, each 10cm (4in) long. Carefully
thread each length through the hole at the bottom of
the bamboo handles.
6
Pin the ribbons that hold the handles in place at the
top of the bag, inside the opening and secure with
small stitches.

Funky florals
This bag is maybe the simplest bag to make – the front and
back panels are made from bought place mats, which are the
ideal size for this bag. Simply sew them together along three
sides, add straps and voila! At last you can have a bag which
is big enough to hold all your favourite magazines, so you are
never behind on what’s happening in the world of celebdom.
bag the essentials:
❁
2 fabric place mats,
blue and white
floral print
1
Take one of the fabric place
mats and decorate the front
by tracing a leaf pattern (see
Templates) onto bondaweb and
ironing onto the back of red floral
fabric. Cut out and then iron down
the right-hand side of the front
panel of the bag.
3
Use fabric glue to stick a length
of red ric rac braid along the
top edges of the bag and wait
until dry. Pin and stitch red bias
binding ribbon along the sides
and bottom of the bag.
Cut two lengths of pale blue
grosgrain ribbon, 1.5cm (
5
∕
8
in)
in width, each 65cm (26in), and
stitch inside the top edges of the
bag, to make straps.

Trace two flower shapes (see
Templates) onto bondaweb
and iron onto the back of plain
red fabric. Cut out and iron on top
of the leaf shapes. Stitch buttons
in the centre of the flowers with
red embroidery thread. Place the
front and back panels of the bag
together and pin along the sides
and bottom, then stitch.

choose a large print, as the bag is
fairly large, and stick to a simple
colour scheme – two colours for the
background (blue and white) and
a bright colour for contrast (in this
case, red).
