Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I already have an extensive collection of handbag sewing books, so why did I need to have this one as soon as it was released? I've seen patterns by Nicole Mallalieu, and found that she always includes some technique or trick that nobody else covered, and I have always learned a lot. I was curious what she'd teach me with a whole book. When my book arrived, I ripped open the package and sat down to browse through it right away. Squee! This book is loaded with the techniques and tricks to take your bag-making over the top, with ways to take a simple design and change it over and over to make each bag something special and unique. I'm most excited by the various handle and strap construction tips she provides. I'll be using these techniques over and over, on bags from most any designer I have patterns from. This is not a repeat of anyone else's sewing book - I haven't seen some of these ideas anywhere else. This is a great addition to your sewing library, worth every cent and then some! You sew girl!
