Samantha takes the intimidations of bagmaking and turns them into manageable steps in all of her patterns. This book is no exception, as it outlines many techniques that have saved me much heartache and time with a seam ripper. The included patterns are beautifully consistent with her standalone lines of patterns and I can't wait to make all of them!

I didn't expect it

I had a coupon for this book so I only spent $2.00 for the book. I was amazed at how much I got from it. I've been sewing for 40years but I still found useful tips. My favorite was using basting tape for adding zippers. I guess I added so many zippers from clothes to bags I wasn't afraid and didn't look for new ideas.

Good but...

Lovely projects, but the printable patterns aren't available. It gives a website, but just sells more books. Then redirects you to another website saying that templates are not hosted somewhere else. But I searched and searched and could not find it. But some projects are made without patterns and just measurements, so you could make those at least.

EU not US verbabe

Took me a bit to figure it out, metric measurements with US conversion. Bag patterns were not my style and I would have been disappointed if I had purchased instead of reading w kindle unlimited.
