- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Steps are difficult to follow, illustrations need improvement. Author knows her stuff.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I understand that everyone learns differently, so in response to the reviewer who found instructions confusing, let me say that I find this book to be extremely clearly written and illustrated.
I would even say that this is my personal favorite book for sewing bags, because the author pays attention to the tiny details that make the difference between a decent-looking bag and an expertly made bag. She goes into construction techniques with a depth and thoroughness that I have not seen anywhere else.2 people found this helpful
