Making accessories

In crafting and sewing, fashion accessories are all the rage. Accessories presents 25 hot projects for handbags, totes, mini-bags, scarves, wraps and more. Styled for casual fun, career wear, or evening and special occasions, the projects feature popular fabrics, craft techniques and embellishments and include a buttery ultra-suede handbag with braid trim, a gossamer scarf of webbed yarns, a sheer shoulder wrap, a felted wool needle-arts tote, a quilted applique glasses holder, even a clever I.D. holder with bead trim. While the directions and how-to photographs make the projects simple, the results are polished, on-trend and designer-perfect.
