LandI already have an extensive collection of handbag sewing books; so why did I need to have this one as soon as it was released? Ive 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 shed 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. Im most excited by the various handle and strap construction tips she provides. Ill be using these techniques over and over; on bags from most any designer I have patterns from. This is not a repeat of anyone elses sewing book - I havent 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!79 of 81 people found the following review helpful. Truly amazing; for beginners or advanced bag makersBy Mary ShawI wanted one bag book and checked several out of the library before ordering this one. This book is worlds above the others I looked at. It talks about all aspects of bag making; and half of the book is dedicated solely to bag-making techniques; in astonishing detail. And how to get the perfect result. The last half contains several patterns of varying difficulty. There is one basic bag pattern; and the author recommends you start with that; using less expensive fabric.If you are interested in bag making and want to learn the best techniques for a fabulous bag; this book is for you. If you are an experienced bag maker who wants to learn professional techniques; this book is for you. If you want to take an in-depth; self-paced course in bag making; this book is for you. If you just want patterns and instructions for making several gorgeous bags; this book is for you; too.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very Helpful Tools and InsightsBy CustomerI am teaching myself to make handbags and the book has helped me tremendously to understand and complete the construction of very nice details of a good bag. The only problems I have had is using fusing tape in making the gussets because it later gums up the needle of my machine. This was probably a learning-curve issue for me and the tape should not be sewn over. Otherwise; the techniques have been fairly easy to execute and adapt. The book is laid out nicely with lots of tips and pictures. Some pictures would be more clear if there was contrasting thread and cloth; but; still; a person can "play" with the project and come up with the outcome that is shown in the photo. I am planning to make more of the bags that are pictured in this book.
