Release date: 2016/3/22
Language: Japanese
Mook: 96 pages

A selection of popular bags from Kamakura Swany featured in Cotton Friend! This book is full of stylish bags that you'll want to make and use right away. It comes with detailed full-color recipes and full-size patterns.

I already buy Cotton Friend, so I thought I didn't need to buy it this time, but the book that lists them all together is convenient for looking up designs, so I thought it was good.

The contents are full of elegant designs with a Swany taste that can be used by a wide range of ages, so I recommend it because it's full of variety. The good thing about this book is that it's the same size as Cotton Friend, and there are 1-2 photos of bags per page, so it's large and easy to see. It has diagrams on how to cut the front, separate fabric, and lining of the fabric, so even beginners won't make mistakes.
It also has helpful and easy-to-understand instructions on points to note, preparations before sewing, and how to make the bags.

There are detailed instructions on how to attach the zipper and how to attach the adhesive interfacing at the back. The actual large size paper is printed in two colors on one sheet (front side A and back side B), so it is easy to see.

The downside is that even if you want to buy the same fabric as shown, some of the products are no longer on sale, which is unfortunate.
