This book had really great ideas for purses and bags and the photos of the finished products were lovely. The instructions were very clear, aided by photos for each step of the process. My granddaughter, with minimal help from me, made the boho bag and it came out wonderfully.

After reading a friend's review, I got this book from the library. (Yea! I can actually do that again.) I didn't so much read it as look through it. There are, indeed, many pretty bags and the directions seem clear and fairly simple. I just don't have a working sewing machine right now so I can't execute any of them.
