Handbag Workshop: Design and Sew the Perfect Bag by Anna M. MazurMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Craft level- Intermediate to advanced sewing skills required.
These are not your basic quilted bags! The patterns in this book are clear, with lots of photos showing the how to do things, step by step. There is a technique section that is helpful, if a bit short.
The majority of the bags seem to be intermediate to advanced, and frankly even the "beginner" bags require more than beginning sewing skills.
To sum up, this book is for a more experience sewer, who is truly interested in making their own handbags on a regular basis, not a one off, as the amount of specialized supplies needed will require a decent investment. The projects in this book use materials such as leather, and involve way too too many steps and too much $ for specialized tools, for this beginner sewer to even contemplate at this time.
*I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
