You’ll always need a go-to bag in your life, as well as bags for all of your peripheral daily activities. This book includes projects for grocery bags, evening clutches, everyday purses totes, kids’ bags, and more. Plus, fashion trends come and go, and everyday bags often take a beating! What better way to accommodate your trendy bag habit into your budget than by making your own? Another way that this book will save you money is that all of the projects are upcycling projects! The tagline is “Recycle and reuse to make 35 beautiful totes, purses, and more,” which is evident in projects such as the Tea Towel Tote and the Vintage Silk Scarf Bag. Use up fabric scraps, stash fabric, bits of old clothing, and other remnants to make thrifty, eco-friendly, stylish, and practical bags with this book. You’re guaranteed to find one or two (or 10) that you like.
