Book Reviews of Crochet Bags!: 15 Hip Projects for Carrying Your StuffBook Review: A nice idea Summary: 2 StarsThis book is a nice idea, but sadly falls a bit flat. There are a couple of really good ideas, especially the timely string bag for shopping etc, but generally these are really quite unusable in the real world. They are not particularly attractive and quite gimmicky. The layout is excellent as are the pictures and the simplicity of the patterns. A great idea that doesn't quite come off.
Book Review: Very Cute Bags Summary: 5 StarsI liked most all the patterns in this book. My favorites are the ripple stitch drawsring purse and the updated old pattern for the black purse(nice shape for that purse). I would recommend this book, especially if you are into purses.
Book Review: Cute patterns, not so sure about instructions Summary: 3 StarsThere are many patterns in here that are downright adorable (along with a few that a fugly of course, but so what!). My only concern is that I've made one bag so far where the instructions were far from clear. I'm not sure they were accurate or not because I just couldn't understand what they were getting at. I'm hoping when I try to make another that the instructions will be easier to follow.
Book Review: Not a bad patterns book Summary: 3 StarsThe crochet tutorials at the start of the book were fairly helpful.
The patterns in general were a bit dull, and some instructions were not clear.
Book Review: mistakes galore! Summary: 2 StarsI did one project in this book. It had mistakes in the instructions in every part of the construction. The publisher passed my request for clarification on to the author. She never responded.
