Review on 👜 The Bag Making Bible: Master the Art of Crafting Unique Bags with this Ultimate Sewing Guide by Nicole Mcleod

I can't help but agree with everyone else in this book. A pleasant surprise, to say the least. Like so many others, I'm so tired of thinking I'm getting a book worth finding just for some new information and lots of unnecessary filler. This book exceeds all of my expectations. Lisa Lam is right: her book is the COMPLETE creative guide to making your own bags. I've made several bags using store bought patterns in the past and they've been fine, but I didn't know how to make the best bag, what fabrics and linings to use, and why. Along with the importance Know the differences between interface and underlay and when and why to use them. This book gets you creating and resizing the templates - it shows you how easy it is. She talks about basic structure and reinforcement, how to achieve the look you want, and describes darts, pleats, gussets, flat bottoms and gathers, and various closure options. You can create by following their very detailed themes. And what an incredible bonus to have actual patterns to work with. Wow, I can't believe how much information Lisa has packed into this "Bible"! This book is great for both beginners and those of us with some sewing experience who want to make custom bags. This book is a must for anyone who wants to think outside the box and create unique bags. And it was just right for me to make some very nice gifts for some of my lists this year.
