Synopsis

With their charming, simply irresistible projects, the Pretty Little series has made a huge splash with crafters. And this newest entry is sure to become one of the biggest hits ever, because every woman knows that you just can’t have too many darling, stylish purses!
These 30 clever and adorable little carryalls range from cute cell phone cases and wallets to daytime purses and glam evening bags. They come from a pool of wildly creative designers, and showcase the latest trends in fabric, design, and embellishment: every one is unique, colorful, modern, and playfully feminine. Who wouldn’t love the sweet heart-covered pouch with a smiling face on the front, plus tiny felted hands and feet? Or the bold and bright petite wool tote that sports a bouquet of felt flowers? And that’s just the beginning of the crafting fun, because there’s so much more, including a vintage linen clutch featuring a pretty ruched front.
Of course, as always, the entire book looks as stunning as the individual projects, with beautiful color photos throughout, plus patterns and templates.  

About this title

From Booklist:

No woman can resist a great bag, and crafters tend toward creating them because there are no rules in pouch and purse design. Here, the editor culls designs of 29 different bags from 15 designers. The result is a panorama of great pieces, from a cute quilted “bling sling” to carry jewelry to a whimsical cell phone holder to a geometric metallic purse. The designs range from simple to complex, so there’s something in here for every level of sewer. The designers are an eclectic group from around the country, many of whom have published their own craft books. Such a varied group results in a wonderful mix of textures and materials that will make this how-to invaluable for experimental crafters. The variety, though, is kept cohesive by the editor, who presents each project with instructions formatted the same way throughout. A must-have for any crafts collection. --Mary Frances Wilkens
