All you need to create 15 stunning backpack designs, using the two reusable plastic templates and the accompanying book.

Created by bestselling author and sewing celebrity Debbie Shore, The Build a Bag Book and Templates provides everything you need to create 15 stylish bags and design countless more using the two full-size, reuseable templates provided.

The templates and beautifully-presented 96 page book are stored in a handy, hardback folder, making this an invaluable, one stop resource that you will return to time and time again.

Debbie provides easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions for 15 stunning bags in a range of fabrics and styles suitable for all occasions. The backpacks are made using different techniques, pockets, straps and fastenings, to create 15 very different results. But why stop there? The template can also be used for your own 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 friendly style and easy-to-follow step-by-step photography, and there is also a comprehensive techniques section and a guide to using the template.
Industry Reviews

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.

Highly recommended

* Postcard Reviews *

These two stunning brand-new titles from Debbie cover on-trend satchels and backpacks. Each book comes in an attractive hard-back folder which also encloses a wallet containing durable plastic templates, from which, by following Debbie's impeccable instructions, it is possible to construct fifteen different bags from each book. There is a bag for every taste and occasion, each beautifully presented in full colour, showing Debbie's inspiring fabric choices. All techniques including zipped pockets, magnetic closures and piping are covered in detail, making these projects suitable for every level of sewing expertise. Debbie also includes inspiring suggestions on adapting the templates to expand the design possibilities and create even more bags! Outstanding value for money, these books are a definite must-have for every bag-loving sewer.

I have some of the other Debbie Shore books, and this is another excellent one. Clear instructions for the basics such as "making a zip panel", for the individual patterns, and even help with things that can go wrong (oops! section). I especially love the plastic templates. There is no need to copy and cut any patterns, because they are included in the book and can be used over and over again.

* Customer review *

I have considered this series of books for some time and I'm so delighted that I now have a copy especially of backpacks which I regularly use. The templates which are included ensure correct cutting and as well as the various projects, I find the other sections including materials, techniques, oops and Debbie's top tips extremely useful too. After trying some of the projects involved the next decision will be which of the other build a bag books to buy!
