Brilliant Bags gives all the information and know-how you need to make 20 gorgeous bags for every occasion - including rag rug bags, pocketed bags, storage bags, jewellery bags, handbags, shoulder bags, and clutch bags. The projects demonstrate a wide variety of techniques - beading, embroidery, applique, patchwork, hooking, fabric painting, tassel-making, knitting, and transfer printing - on bags of all styles, from hip retro to vintage florals. Packed with inspiration to get the creative juices flowing, the projects can be completed by a novice, or the more experienced can use them as a starting point to showcase their own ideas. Sharing her years of experience, and using only simple hand or machine stitches, and materials such as metallic threads combined with beads, sequins, and found objects, Deena transforms the often ordinary bag into something covetable.
