Book Reviews of The Perfect Bag: 101 Stylish Looks From Simple Patterns

Book Review: The Perfect Bag by Linda Mcgehee
Summary: 3 Stars

The instructions and patterns for the perfect bag are excellent.
However I was disappointed not to find any instructions as to how to make the fabric flowers shown on the bag on the front cover.
I felt that this was misleading to the customer when buying online
