Inventive and extraordinary. Vicky didn't go at this in an amiturish way, she really researched out each culture and helped them come alive in the stories and details of each bag. The patterns are easy to understand and a few stretch your knowledge and skills very nicely.
Great designs with clear patterns. I would like to try a couple (one felted, one knit).
There are some very cool patterns in here. If I'm ever feeling ambitious, I might actually try one!

I've made two of the bags in this book. One came out nicely. The other pattern was completely frakked. So I'm slightly apprehensive about trying another, although most of the bags look pretty cool.
Love this book. Fun patterns, many I would really like to make for myself and others. Will be looking for a good deal on this book.
I made my maid of honor her gift from this book. There are some wonderful patterns here for a variety of uses.
informative; techniques easily understood; interesting bags
Some history, traditions, and some pretty patterns.
