Introducing The Complete Bag Making Masterclass
We frequently get asked here, in our inbox, and over on social media questions about the fundamentals of bag making. Here are some of the real questions we've been asked over the last 12 months:
"How do I add a slip pocket to the inside of my bag?"
"How can I reduce my sewing pattern by about 25%? I don't know where to start!"
"What sort of stabiliser/interfacing should I use for my bag?"
"Can I change the strap style on my bag? How would I do that?"
The answers you're seeking (and more) can be found in my new book, The Complete Bag Making Masterclass. My book contains colour-coded sections on the core skills and techniques you need to create beautiful bags, as well as information on fabrics, hardware, and how to achieve a professional finish for your makes. My Masterclass also features eight bagmaking projects that I have developed especially for the book, which help you practice the techniques you'll learn in the skills sections.
My Complete Bag Making Masterclass is due to be released on 31st July 2020, but you can pre-order a signed copy now from my website at: https://www.mrs-h.com/complete-bagmaking-masterclass-book.html
And, if you're one of the first 100 pre-orders, you'll also receive a free reusable shopping tote, featuring the slogan 'My Other Bag is Handmade'.
We're so excited to share this news with you, and are sure that you will have lots of fun on your new bagmaking journey!

I want to do the trio pocketbook but am missing the page for the pockets. I do have the flap and center panel. Would you be able to email the 3rd page with thepockets or send me the measurements ? Looks like a great book
Thanks.
