If you're looking for some "neat little things" to make for yourself and for others, start here. Can't go wrong. I've made so many coin key pouches I can't count them. I give them away all the time, and it only takes a small amount of fabric, a short zipper, a small bit of ribbon and a "split" key ring (sold as "split rings.) Wonderful also is the Ultrasuede belt pouch, which I made out of a nice striped denim when I couldn't find Ultrasuede. A little bit of accomodation for the different fabric, but it's wonderful for shopping, a quick trip somewhere, or when you are traveling. And that's just for starters. . .
Just wonderful

Full size patterns. Need i say more? But i will anyway. The accesories and bags are done in a more matronly style than i like, but i used my own funky fabrics, etc. and was VERY pleased with the ease i which the projects were completed and the adaptability of each project to my particular vision.And, full size patterns. With handbag patterns selling at [price] and up, i saved a ton with this book. Good for the beginner or those looking for instant (or as instant as this gets) gratification. Clear and concise instructions.
Quite a few good ideas here! I'm impressed.

I got this book because I plan to be travelling in the fall, and I wanted some ideas for things to make my travels easier. I love the "poncho which folds up in its own pocket" idea, as well as a warm wrap that would be just what I need for staying comfy on the plane, some slippers that would be perfect for travel, ideas for adding pockets to ready-made clothes, a "purse/necklace" great for carrying a credit card and room key, ideas for simple scarfs which will stretch my travel wardrobe, ... well, you get the idea. (I also orderd by the same author a book on Travel Accessories to sew, but that hasn't arrived yet. If it's anything like this one, I'm sure I'll be pleased!)
Stylish Sewing Projects That Won't Drive You Crazy

At first,I was skeptical about the quality of this book because the other books I had read on sewing accessories didn't meet my expectations.But, this book is the real deal! It has beautiful color photos and illustrations that show you step by step how to make some of the cutest accessories I have ever seen.The projects included are 11 totes and purses, 4 scarves and belts, 5 wraps to wear, 10 golf, garden, and spa accessories,6 jewerly bags and holders, and 5 projects decorating ready-made accessories.The book also includes resource pages and smart sewing techinques.The best part about the book is that it comes with full-size patterns so you can get started right away. You don't have to do any enlarging or crazy measuring. That's what annoyed me about the other accessory books I had read in the past.Mary Mulari really knows her stuff.
Wonderful book

Truly a wonderful book. Beautifully photographed, this book is a treasure trove of ideas for creating innovative (and easy to make) "comfort" gifts - practical gifts you'd sew for special friends. My favorites include a nice, big bag made from window screen, a unique purse in the shape of a Japanese fan, a generously sized cowl poncho, and a multiple-use travel and television shawl (with deep pockets to store supplies or simply keep hands warm). I was especially thrilled to find full-size patterns in a pocket attached inside of the book. Each project is fully detailed and easy to understand, with many drawings that clearly explain the accompanying text. My Christmas gift-making is underway!
