Simply Modern Patchwork Bags: 10 Bags for Every Occasion

Everyone loves a bag Why have one when you can have ten? Different bags are needed for various activities in our day to day lives shopping, working, relaxing, socialising, for home or holiday and my aim has been to put together a book showcasing ten different patterns; each one for a different purpose. There is a bag for every occasion.

Simply modern patchwork means fresh, bright fabric choices with simple, stunning patchwork designs. This has been coupled with stylish, practical bag designs. I have chosen fabrics and bag designs that I love and I hope that you will too.

Patchwork involves using two or more fabrics with a number of shaped pieces. Some of the bag patterns in this book use a selection of fabrics and it is the use of two, three or four fabrics and sometimes more which make the patchwork. Some bags feature squares, triangles or rectangles in a variety of patterns and the patchwork then is a real focal point in the bag.

Janet loves to stitch and her patterns are published regularly in British patchwork and quilting magazines as well as being included in various books. Janet teaches regular evening and day classes throughout the UK. Her work is also featured on her website: http: //www.patchworkpatterns.co.uk/
