This one is very timely for me, since I recently acquired quite a few bolts of wonderful home dec fabric at auction and planned to make purses and bags with it. I've purchased several bag making books of late, and was sorely disappointed. So many seem to be rushing their books to print, and the end result is not impressive. I already know how to turn out a decent bag...but I'd like to know how to expand my skills beyond the basics. Thanks again, this book is definitely for me!

I use it for her techniques, more so than for the patterns -- she has these tiny little tricks that make seams neater, corners cleaner and squarer, and so forth. I know I am not alone in taking your reviews very seriously, so I am delighted that this book gets the Bunny Seal of Approval.elizabethdeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530010568818566353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-24856834053092324572016-01-04T22:29:34.665-05:002016-01-04T22:29:34.665-05:00I have got to find that book!

She is passionate about her subject matter. <br /><br />I'll admit I am comparing to two other "big name" bag designers and there books. This is leagues better. It seems the information is just easier to absorb in this book. <br /><br />By the way, there is no affiliation here. When it is slow at the library I work in, I look up and order sewing books from all over. Anything really worthwhile I like to share with my readers.
