 The first was better ... March 22, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I purchased this book after buying Ms. Kimura's first, "Bags With Style". Though this has more fun ideas, the same great construction and fabric chapters, and easy to use instructions, I just did not find it quite as inspirational as her first. Patterns are included and the instructions are clear and concise. The accessories did not wow me and some of the bag designs seemed a bit redundant. There are some fun ones in here, especially the one on the cover! Still a good book but I would recommend her first more.

Could a follow-up book possibly be just as good--if not better--than the original? Author Stephanie Kimura proves it can in her wonderful follow-up to the hugely successful Bags with Style. In this book, Stephanie goes beyond just bags and adds instruction on how to create some of the most fashionable accessories that are staples to any stylish woman's wardrobe. Yes, there are mostly bags, but you'll also learn how to create shrugs, shawls, belts, collars, cell phone carriers and even a romantic stole! Beginners and advanced sewers alike will revel in the 27 projects from the casual to the exquisite. Success is inevitable when you couple the full-size patterns (we're talking pattern company quality patterns) with 200 fabulous photos and 65 helpful how-to illustrations. As Stephanie puts it, this book "is for talented and creative women like you." When you put it like that, how can you possibly resist?!
My review for Bags/Accessories w/Style September 16, 2005

This book was exactly what I was looking for. I used it for belts the first day I received it. The purses/bags are my next projects. I highly recommend for crafters with a little flair to their style.
