I liked this book, it was just what I was expecting ... clever, sometimes off-the-wall, ideas for making bags at home. The subtitle of "Low-sew, no-sew" is true, since many bags need no sewing (staples & duct tape, anyone?), and the ones that do need sewing are so simple even I (!) could manage it!

I also like where she gets her materials from ... she uses things such as placemats and pillowcases which are already sewn, to reduce the amount of sewing required. And the pillow...more

This book is full of great, fashionable, affordable AND EASY bag ideas. Although I would've liked to see a little more variation in the bags shown (and less use of duct tape), the book was EXACTLY as I expected, and like I said, many of the ideas are downright cute and trendy.

Overall, a great book!

I guess in general, with crafts and sewing, you get back what you put in. This book's focus is keeping you away from the sewing machine, and I'd much rather stitch a bag than use tape or other adhesives. Not for me. I didn't like the look of the finished products.

Make a bag from a zippered pillow case? Brilliant, because putting in zippers is a concept invented by the devil himself.

Bags are exhausting. But I love some of the designs. This even shows you how to make bags out of pillowcases, old Twister boards, and placemats. No-sew, low-sew and recycled products are featured. Very cool for the hip crafter

Easy instructions and nice designs. Many of the bags that are in stores can be made at home with inexpensive materials.

I may well try making a tote bag from place mats!
