About the Book

Praise for the Build a Bag series: "These books are ideal for those new to bag making and will help readers grow their bag-making skills and confidence as they work through the projects. The plastic templates are a brilliant idea and a great bonus." - The Sewing Directory New to the highly acclaimed Build a Bag series, Debbie Shore brings you a selection of 15 brilliant backpacks! The 15 designs are created using the full-size rigid template contained within the book. It is easy-to-use, durable, reusable, wipe-clean and perfect for fussy cutting, plus it is simple to position and use – there is no need to pin it. The backpacks are made using different techniques, pockets, straps and fastenings to create 15 very different results. But why stop there? The template can also be used for your own design variations. As you mix and match the techniques covered within the book, Debbie gives advice on how to adapt and create your own unique designs. Each project in the book is explained using Debbie’s friendly style and easy-to-follow step-by-step photography, and there is also a comprehensive techniques section and a guide to using the template.

Review :
There are now four pattern books in the Build a Bag series, each one containing a reusable plastic pattern and at least 15 projects.  The best thing about sewing with Debbie Shore is that she makes things so easy. From beginner to advanced skill levels, every stitcher can enjoy these books and create something wonderful.  The projects are beautifully photographed, and the instructions have a stunning visual and written step by step guide.  Techniques, tips and what to do if things go wrong are included and the whole process from start to finish is jargon free. This makes it easy to understand and you know exactly what to do without the aid of other explanations.  The Plastic Pattern is brilliant, and the instructions colour code the pattern piece you need.  Each Backpack is beautifully designed and really are fit for purpose. Each one is different, and have a unique and stylish look. Highly recommended  These two stunning brand-new titles from Debbie cover on-trend satchels and backpacks.  Each book comes in an attractive hard-back folder which also encloses a wallet containing  durable plastic templates, from which, by following Debbie’s impeccable instructions, it is possible to construct fifteen different bags from each book.  There is a bag for every taste and occasion, each beautifully presented in full colour, showing Debbie’s inspiring fabric choices.  All techniques including zipped pockets, magnetic closures and piping are  covered in detail, making these projects suitable for every level of sewing expertise.  Debbie also includes inspiring suggestions on adapting the templates to expand the design possibilities and create even more bags!  Outstanding value for money, these books are a definite must-have for every bag-loving sewer. I have some of the other Debbie Shore books, and this is another excellent one. Clear instructions for the basics such as "making a zip panel", for the individual patterns, and even help with things that can go wrong (oops! section). I especially love the plastic templates. There is no need to copy and cut any patterns, because they are included in the book and can be used over and over again. I have considered this series of books for some time and I’m so delighted that I now have a copy especially of backpacks which I regularly use. The templates which are included ensure correct cutting and as well as the various projects, I find the other sections including materials, techniques, oops and Debbie‘s top tips extremely useful too. After trying some of the projects involved the next decision will be which of the other build a bag books to buy!
