Build a Bag Book & Templates: Occasion Bags: Sew 15 Stunning Projects and Endless Variations Hardcover – September 25, 2018

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 458 ratings

Create 15 stunning occasion bag designs using the two reusable plastic templates

New from Debbie Shore, this is a brand new series with a difference!

The components of each of the 15 occasion bag designs are created using the rigid plastic templates contained within the book; these two easy-to-use templates are durable, reusable, wipe-clean and perfect for fussy cutting, plus they are simple to position and use - there is no need to pin them.

The 15 bags are each made using different techniques, pockets, straps and fastenings, to create 15 very different results. The templates can also be used for your own further design variations, as you mix and match the techniques covered within the book; Debbie gives advice on how to adapt and create your own unique designs. Each project in the book is explained using Debbie's trademark style and step-by-step photography, and there is also a comprehensive techniques section and a guide to using the templates.

For Debbie Shore, taking a role as a presenter on children's television in 1986 was the unlikely first step to becoming one of the UK's most popular sewing designers. From charming kids on ITV and acting in some of our favourite soaps, she went on to demonstrate sewing products for a shopping channel, before making the leap to designing her own patterns, fabrics, kits and sewing projects. Her prolific output also includes over 26 best-selling sewing books, which feature simple and understandable projects to encourage new sewers to have a go. This has all contributed to elevating her to the position of one of the UK's best-loved pattern designers, and the winner of Craft Influencer of the Year and Social Media Influencer of the Year in the British Sewing Awards 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Debbie has over 270,000 subscribers on her award-winning You Tube channel. In 2018, Debbie launched her Half Yard Sewing Club, a monthly subscription service based on the megaselling Half Yard™ series, and won the 2019 IPG Digital Publishing Award.

    This book is excellent well written. Every thing is explained and there is room in the margins to make notes yourself. I have made three things so far a x they look great but we're very easy to construct and cut out.
