rating: 3 Good - Not Great!

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.

by Customer A2A0Z5TE8EQADH at January 25th, 2007
Ms. Clason did a remarkable job with this collection of usable, stylish bag designs that are easy to make following her excellent instructions. She uses supplies that are easy to find, and easy to manipulate to make the final product a unique, one-of-a-kind expression of the maker. Does require some sewing knowledge to follow her instructions.
