Postcard Reviews - Dec 2019
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. 
The hardback book comes in a neat folder style format. The plastic pattern is hard wearing, wipe clean and reusable.  Build a Bag Backpacks is filled with handy hints and tips. Perfect for beginners and exciting enough for advanced sewists.
