      How does one access the patterns? I can't find the web link to download it! I think the patterns would make more sense to me if I had an actual pattern in front of me because lots of steps are missing from the 'how to do it section.'

    About the Author

    Cherie Lee has a long history of sewing and designing stunning handmade items in her native Taiwan. In 2006, Cherie established her own handmade brand, Love ∙ Catmint, and began attending many creative design events and festivals, which she continues to participate in as both guest and presenter today. In 2008, Cherie began to focus her handmade projects on cozy accessories inspired by soft fabrics. Since starting her sewing journey, Cherie has been featured in the news and in several magazines, and has published two sewing books on indoor shoes. In 2012, she established Catmint Studio, where she spends her days working on her next batch of impressive projects. Through her brand Love ∙ Catmint, Cherie shares the comfort and happiness of soft handmade goods with her customers, friends, and family. www.lovecatmint.com

    I love to play around with small bits of fabric, I love the bliss of handmade projects, and, most of all, I love the satisfaction that you feel when you look upon your finished project.

    Publisher’s Note

    When Taiwanese designer Cherie Lee set out to write this book on making small gifts, little did she know that her work would make its way to the United States. But that is precisely what happened: when we at Design Originals got the chance to look at her charming designs, we knew American readers would love them. So much so, in fact, that we have decided to publish two volumes of her work.

    This book, the second volume, features a variety of accessories from hats, slippers, and coin purses to camera cases, card folios, and wallets. There is something for every taste and every function. Whether you are using fabric from your stash or buying fresh bundles from your local craft store, you’ll adore the nineteen projects selected. And after you make all your favorites from this book, be sure to check

    out Cherie’s first book, Sewing Pretty Little Things, which features bags and clutches to match any style or outfit.

    Cherie joins the rapidly growing collection of talented craft authors from around the world selected for inclusion in the Design Originals line. Known for its innovative topics and highly regarded authors, Design Originals will continue to bring the best selections of foreign and American craft books to North American readers. We love these books, and we hope you will, too. Enjoy!

    Editor’s Note

    Planning this project has been both a wonderful, enjoyable experience as well as a challenging and difficult journey. There

    are those inevitable times when you are painstakingly trying to come up with an idea, only to find yourself continuously hitting a brick wall; but such times are counteracted when you find inspiration for a great idea that makes you so excited that you could jump up and dance. I have been lucky enough to share these delights and hardships during this project with the book’s author, Cherie Lee.

    After Cherie finished her 2010 work on handmade indoor shoes, she wanted to strike again while the iron was hot, so she immediately set out to start on a new handmade project. Cherie and I began brainstorming until, after hours of throwing ideas back and forth, we came up with the idea of handmade gifts using fabric remnants.

    The nineteen projects in this book appeal to a variety of different interests and needs. The author’s key motive for this book is to reach out to a more diverse audience with the best yet of her cloth-work books. In creating this varied set of gifts, the most important issue that was resolved is one of the most common problems constantly presenting itself to handmade products: what do you do with your leftover scraps of material? Those last fragments of cloth left over after you have finished your other projects are perfect for the bags and accessories

    in this book.

    I hope that you will find that each of these projects can

    help to serve as sincere and meaningful gifts for yourself

    or for those you love.
