6 styles 31 designs
The lovely designs covered half the volume of the book. Only very simple guide on how to make a bag.
I guess this book is more for ideas. I am starting to believe the choice of fabric makes or breaks the bag!

translated – love machine sewing in 3 lessons. by Rick rack
original Japanese title – Shinsoban : Rick Rack Sewing Kiso Book by Akiko Misono
what attracted me was the vintage sewing machine on the cover. don’t you just love the feel?
Lesson 1 touches on fabric, needles, threads, fabric treatment and ironing, button, button holes, cutting patterns, types of sewing machine and basic sewing methods.
Lesson 2 goes into practical usage like one mile bag, shorts and t-shirts.
Lesson 3 focuses on Q & A. for example on the first machine, saving up the scraps, remodelling of kids wear, upcycle. There are 29 FAQs.
I didn’t take photographs of the pages as all the pages are full of information for newbies like me. Missing any page will be a loss!
highly recommended!
