Her aim is to make you a better bag maker. &nbsp;The book starts with chapters on tools, materials, key skills, and bag making techniques, before moving onto 10 projects to teach key bag making techniques, step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chapter on tools and materials is invaluable \u2013 it covers different types of sewing feet to help you deal with bulky seams. Although familiar with using my walking foot for this I became distracted by my sewing machine manufacturer\u2019s website &#8211; surely they make a denim foot for my machine?! The chapter on interfacing is very helpful with a useful reference chart for different types of interfacing, fusible fleece, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving onto <em>key skills<\/em> \u2013 This chapter covers how to choose interfacing, fuse interfacing, tips on reducing bulk in seams, how to keep the ends neat, and lastly stitching sharp edges and smooth curves. Personally I have learned so much from this chapter alone. It had never crossed my mind to remove interfacing from the seam allowance once the seam is stitched, Nicole gives three different methods for doing this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bag Making Techniques<\/em> &#8211; as you would expect this is clearly written with good diagrams, several types of pockets are demonstrated including a divided zipped pocket that I've not seen before. Plus bag bases, and zippered gussets. The section on how to create a zippered pocket in the lining is fascinating and I've got to try it soon. &nbsp;Love the idea of creating a super-neat opening with a facing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"582\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing.jpg\" alt=\"Zipper facing\" class=\"wp-image-21867 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing.jpg 670w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-500x434.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-150x130.jpg 150w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 670\/582;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"670\" height=\"582\" src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing.jpg\" alt=\"Zipper facing\" class=\"wp-image-21867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing.jpg 670w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-300x261.jpg 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-500x434.jpg 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Zipper-facing-150x130.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>As you would expect from an expert like Nicolle, there are great instructions, illustrations or photos for all of the techniques you learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 10 projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The ten projects<\/em> \u2013 these are stylish fun bags you will want to make.
