Sew What! Bags by Lexie Barnes

18 Pattern-Free Projects You Can Customize to Fit Your Needs

Whether toting groceries, books, baby supplies, gardening tools, a wallet, or electronic gadget, eco-conscious crafters will find a bag design to fit their needs! Sew What! Bags features simple, pattern-free sewing projects that require no previous experience, just an inventive spirit, fun fabric, and a basic sewing machine.

Author Lexie Barnes is a nationally known brand in the bag world, noted for contemporary designs that combine practical detail with stellar functionality. Her unique approach to bag design — starting with the need and then customizing the bag to fit it perfectly — is inspiring and freeing. She encourages crafters to jumpstart their creativity with "warm-up projects" that will carry just a single object, from a pair of eyeglasses to a pack of tissues.

The 17 core sewing projects show how to use bold, contemporary fabrics to make totes, drawstring sacks, messenger bags, organizers, satchels, and purses in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Every project is shown in a full-color photo accompanied by step-by-step, illustrated instructions. Many more variations in size, fabric combinations, and styling features are also pictured to show just a few of the possibilities for customizing each project. Suitable for crafters of all levels.
