Handmade embroidered bags - Jenny Rolfe

There is nothing quite like owning a stylish, unique handmade bag that you have created yourself.
Jenny Rolfe has used quilting and free machine embroidery techniques to create a stunning collection of bags for all occasions.
All the techniques are explained fully, including how to make your own fabrics and cords to give your bags that really personal touch.
The fabrics used include cottons, silks and felts, as well as the more exotic metallic organza, chiffon, velvet and netting. Variegated and metallic machine threads add texture, and the bags are futher embellished with beads, sequins, shisha mirrors and wire in various colours.
Detailed step-by-step photographs accompany easy-to-follow text, and a sequence of projects illustrate how to construct, decorate and complete a range of different-shaped bags - one for every style and occasion.
