Book Reviews of Linda McGehee's Simply Sensational Bags

Book Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased the book originally anticipating patterns and helpful construction advice. Unfortunately, this was not provided. The book primarily focuses on embellishments, etc. While the bags are dated, they can stimulate some ideas. Unfortunately, many of the shapes, etc. are long past being stylish.
