The best book on bags I have ever seen. 19 fabulous bags to sew. Techniques, tip and know-how are all included plus full-sized templates. I love sewing books that give full-sized patterns, so this book is ticking all the boxes. Clear instructions, easy-to-follow and fantastic photos. The projects are graded by skill and have suggestions for size and fabric differences. My favourites are the Evelyn Clutch, Miranda Bag and Stephanie Bag. You can make 76 bags with this book.

Another Beauty

Posted by Australian Homespun Magazine, August 2015 on Aug 24th 2015

Sue Kim has followed her first book of bag projects (Bags - The Modern Classics) with another beauty. As she did before, Sue has provided detailed step-by-step instructions illustrated with clear photographs for each of the 19 projects in this latest volume. This, coupled with the stylish design of the bags and the excellent technique overview chapter, makes Boutique Bags an excellent choice for crafters who are building their bag-making skills or looking for creative inspiration. The bags range from coin purses, clutches and evening bags all the way up to a huge market bag, 16 1/2 in. long and 12 in. wide. Each bag is shown made in at least three very different fabrics, demonstrating the impact that colour and print can have on the bag's personality.

Step-by-step instructions for nuances that make homemade bags look more professional

Posted by Library Journal, August 2015 on Aug 5th 2015

In Kim’s second collection of purse, clutch, and bag patterns, the author (Bags) focuses on the feminine, with lots of pleats, bows, and ruffles as details. Three basic styles are presented: small pouches and coin purses, clutches, and larger shoulder bags, and each includes multiple projects, many with variations in hardware or embellishment. Most of the bags are beginner-friendly, and the instructions are perfect for novices. Sewists seeking structured bags won’t find them here, but if slouchy hobos, roomy shopping totes, and frilly handbags are of interest, there’s plenty to choose from. Basic sewing skills are assumed, but step-by-step instructions for nuances that make homemade bags look more professional, such as sewn-in piping, magnetic snaps, and adjustable straps and buckles, are supplied. Patterns are provided on a pull-out sheet. VERDICT Sewists who enjoy bags designed by Lexie Barnes, Amy Butler, or Sara Lawson will enjoy Kim’s stylish designs.
