        In Kim's second collection of purse, clutch, and bag patterns, the author (Bags) focuses on the feminine, with lots of pleats, bows, and ruffles as details. Three basic styles are presented: small pouches and coin purses, clutches, and larger shoulder bags, and each includes multiple projects, many with variations in hardware or embellishment. Most of the bags are beginner-friendly, and the instructions are perfect for novices. Sewists seeking structured bags won't find them here, but if slouchy hobos, roomy shopping totes, and frilly handbags are of interest, there's plenty to choose from. Basic sewing skills are assumed, but step-by-step instructions for nuances that make homemade bags look more professional, such as sewn-in piping, magnetic snaps, and adjustable straps and buckles, are supplied. Patterns are provided on a pull-out sheet. VERDICT Sewists who enjoy bags designed by Lexie Barnes, Amy Butler, or Sara Lawson will enjoy Kim's stylish designs.
