5 out of 5 stars A must for the bag and tote fanatic!   October 18, 2007
  6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This is one of the best tote and bag books that I own (and that is saying something, I have quite a collection). The instructions are clear and easy to follow, the bags themselves are fun and useful and also easy to adapt to get a truly unique product. Even is you are new to bag making you will bea ble to make bags from this book. Highly recommended.


3 out of 5 stars Good - Not Great!   October 14, 2007

If you are a novice at quilting or sewing purses this book will be helpful for ideas and techniques.

If you've made a few purses or small quilting projects, I doubt you will find any new techniques.

You could just look at the pictures at the library for ideas.

Good - NOT Great!

Easy and concise directions. I love making bags and totes and this book is quickly becoming a favorite. GRG



2 out of 5 stars So disappointed   June 14, 2007
  3 out of 5 found this review helpful

I've only tried one project from this book and was very disappointed. The measurements were off by 1.5" on one of the pattern pieces, throwing the whole bag out of proportion. I will try other projects and amend my feedback if needed, but as of now, I wouldn't recommend this.
Updated 8/1/07: I tried a second project from the book and encountered more problems. The patterns were clearly not well-tested before the book was published.
