Review on πŸ‘œ Leather Purses & Totes by Lisa Galvin - Crafting Guide (2005-06-01) by Amber Perez

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A well-made book that has little to offer for serious projects

This book is beautifully made but suffers from the problems I've seen in other leather bag books. Genuine leather bag samples are too small to use. Many of the bags shown only appeal to young girls who dress up. That doesn't mean they can't be made tasteful when they're little. Surprisingly, some projects focus on skin only, while the rest are store-bought bags. There are some good ideas in this book, but not enough to justify the price for an already experienced leatherworker. I do not recommend it and would return if shipping both ways would not exceed the cost of the book.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
