Jessica Rush: The Bag Maker's Companion, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Bag Maker's Companion is a practical, confidence-building guide for sewists who want to make durable, custom bags using budget-friendly materials and domestic machines. Written by Jess Rush, founder of the popular DIY bag-making site OklaRoots, this illustrated book translates trusted teaching methods into a clear, step-by-step print reference. Beginning with essential and accessible tools, the book breaks down the techniques that give bags their structure and professional finish--boxed corners, gussets, darts, pockets, straps, and closures--while demystifying common challenges such as stabilizers, needles, thread, and domestic versus industrial machines. Readers learn how to modify bag shapes and construction methods to suit their needs, whether sewing for themselves, for gifts, or to sell.

More than 10 adaptable base patterns--including a backpack, a sling, a hobo, and a tote--can be downloaded by readers, and customized into endless variations. The book complements both the author's existing tutorials and new video instruction created specifically for the book, while remaining fully usable on its own.
