BAGS

Whether for a stroll around the city, your daily shopping, an evening party, a picnic in the country or a weekend trip, it’s always much more fun with the right bag - practical, and yet fashionable. However, it’s not always easy to find the right design - so why not just make your own favourite?

Choose the bag you like best from the many different shapes and sizes, and then there’s nothing to stop you from having a great time. Made in the fabric of your choice, a shopper, handbag, weekend bag, shoulder bag, clutch, casual pouch bag or bag with handles will be totally unique. And there are also various ideas for strong bags for children so they are well equipped for school or leisure activities.

The designs are all accompanied by excellent photos, a list of materials and detailed step-by-step instructions. There is a separate pattern sheet with all the necessary pattern pieces to copy and cut out, which makes it even easier to get creative. We promise you’ll find the bag love of your life!

Before you start

Using the pattern sheet

You may download all the pattern pieces that go with this e-book as PDF files using the following link:

www.naumann-goebel.com/bags

Further information about printing and using your sewing pattern may also be found on the above-mentioned page.

Place the cutting paper underneath the pattern piece, then slip a sheet of dressmaker’s tracing paper between the two, with the carbon side face down. Using a tracing wheel or a pencil, trace along all the pattern lines in the same colour, or the ones that correspond to your size. Next, transfer all the other markings – such as darts, fabric grain and fold lines. When copying the pattern pieces, make sure that the sheets of cutting paper are spaced in such a way that the individual pattern pieces are positioned separately on the paper without overlapping.

Cut out each pattern piece from the sheet of paper exactly along the outer lines you have drawn. Finally, make a note on the paper indicating which pattern piece it is and how many times it should be cut from the fabric. Where necessary, mark any edges to be aligned with the fabric fold. Repeat this procedure for all the pattern pieces.

What is …

… a remnant? Any scrap of fabric measuring less than 15 cm × 15 cm is considered to be a remnant.

…level of difficulty? The level of difficulty ascribed to each pattern is indicated by small symbols. A single symbol indicates ’easy‘, signifying designs which are relatively easy to sew, even for beginners. Patterns accompanied by two symbols are of intermediate difficulty. Three symbols indicate a more complex and time-consuming design which should be attempted by more experienced sewing fans only.

… an arrow → on the pattern sheet? Each pattern piece includes an arrow indicating the direction of the nap or grain of fabric.

Handbag, shopping bag, shoulder bag, beach bag, weekender for a trip or an evening bag – we ladies like to have the right companion for every occasion and situation. This book has them all! And so that budding bag-lovers don’t miss out, we’ve also come up with a few designs for children to use at school and at home.
