Customer Reviews

A must for the self-made bag fanatic!
This is one of the best tote and bag books that I own (and that is saying something, I have quite a collection). The instructions are clear and easy to follow, the bags themselves are fun and useful and also easy to adapt to get a truly unique product. Even is you are new to bag making you will be able to make bags from this book. Highly recommended.

Quilted Bags & Totes
Firstly I would like to thank the previous reviewer, who made up my mind to purchase this book!! Just like her, I have a whole multitude of books and patterns. This is the 2nd book I have been inspired enough to leave a review. I was very excited to receive it and would say that it far exceeded my expectations!! I love the way its been written and the projects are so inspiring. With many books and patterns, I am left disappointed and not inspired, but you wont be disappointed with this one. The instructions are so detailed and VERY easy to follow. There is a pull out pattern, but most are simply cut using a quilting ruler (simple)!! Denise recommends which tools/equipment to purchase. I will guarantee that once you see the pictures you will be inspired to start sewing - just like I have done. This is now on my faves shelf!!
