 surprizingly good October 29, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I didn't really expect to keep this book (I ordered The Perfect Bag along with it) BUT the instructions for lining/adding zippers/fasteners, etc. were so good that I decided to keep it for other purse projects that aren't in the book. The bags look a bit small (no big tote or carry-all) but a couple of bags caught my eye. Each bag has it's own sewing instructions that are step by step and easy to follow. (I sent Perfect Bag back and kept this one).

Very clear instructions and gorgeous bags. Bag designs are 'vintage' but very modern at the same time, unlike some eighties-like designs from other books.
Not Hokey June 2, 2006

I bought this book unseen and hoped for the best - quite often with purse books a lot of the styles end up being hokey and NOTHING I would ever want to carry or submit my friends to. I teach purse making classes (Amy Butler patterns) and wanted to check this out. Very nice, I would carry most of these purses and have made 2 fun little handbags out of this book. easy to follow, creative, simple and classic. The lines are clean and would translate well in many different kinds of fabric. For the most part they are fun 'going out' bags there arent a lot (if any) multi-pockets mom type purses. These are the styled out designs for ladies of the past who had hats that matched their bags. I don't have a matching hat, but my little bag in cotton Merimekko fabric sure does hip up my flip flops and sundress when I am out and about town....

84 out of 85 found this review helpful
I am a Crafter and Teacher of sewing...I love to teacher bag making, people have fun and always fall in love with the bag they made. I have many books on all crafts...but this book is one of the best on bag making....it's so easy to follow. It also has the patterns, you can't beat it. I have been sewing for more then twenty years and this book helped me learn a few new things about sewing.
