    Practical, clear encouraging guidance

    This book shows you how to make a selection of bags, and encourages you to think with confidence, and understand how the techniques are done. Previously I had downloaded free bag patterns, and they lack any of the subtle helpful guidance and instructions found in this book. There are careful closeup photos of processes that are harder to explain. The patterns are well drawn with useful markers and details. This book makes it difficult to make a lumpy wonky bag, and I am delighted with it, and amazed at my success. Thank you, Lisa.

  • Excellent book for bag making

    A great book for bag makers with well explained details on how to do everything and steps that follow through the whole process. Bags increase in difficulty as you go through the book. Full colour pictures throughout. Great for beginners and those who are more advanced sewers.

  • Bag Making Bible

    Great resource for someone looking to start making their own bags. Each chapter focuses on a particular technique and provides patterns to practice, but also guides you as to how to design your own bag. Just what I was after.
