Book Review: Great book for beginner to expert!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a spectacular book! If this book is listed as "out of print" here on amazon, look around elsewhere - I found it at a different bookstore. There are approximately 20 projects (give or take a few) for bags from duffle bags to a quilter's tool bag to a play mat/bag for children. Skills levels range from beginner to advanced and the skill levels are all clearly marked for every project. All the materials you will need for the project are clearly presented right at the beginning of the project with enough detail for even a beginner to get help finding at a fabric store including suggested fabric types. The directions are also really well written with a great deal of detail and illustrations right where they would be useful. At the end of every project several alternatives are listed to dress up the project, change the size, or just have more fun with the project. Surprisingly, the designs of the bags themselves are actually really modern and neat. I would be proud to have any of these bags myself or give them as gifts. I would say that about 75% of the projects in this book are items that I will eventually make because they are so neat (and even good as gifts).Right now, I'm finishing up my first project from the book: the play mat/bag for children. It's very easy to make and the instructions made even putting on bias tape (something I had not done before) seem simple and straightforward. It's going to be a gift for my nephew for Christmas. In addition, one of the alternatives she suggests is to use a different fabric style and sew this same mat/bag for myself as a picnic blanket (also to be used to transport bulky items). Very neat!
