Questionable embellishment,
By jordiw "omnivorous reader" (NY, NY USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Brilliant Bags: 20 Beautiful Bags to Stitch and Love (Paperback)
I was hoping for bags, well made bags with patterns for a variety of shapes etc and some interior fittings, but this book is much concerned with embellishing (Sometimes way over the top) some very simple shapes. Not an interior pocket to be seen just inside-out linings and outside flourishes. There is more space devoted to printing on fabric with an apple than on sewing together the purse it decorates. If you need to know how to sew on ruffles, this is for you, but if you want to know how to make good, sturdy bags I think you can look elsewhere.

Outdated Bags,
By Cat Lady (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brilliant Bags: 20 Beautiful Bags to Stitch and Love (Paperback)
Sorry to say the book didn't have great pictures and the purses were not great or even inspiring. The instuctions were good but the purses in the book were not something I would make or recommend to anyone. The saving grace for the book is that some of the instructions can be used in creating my own bag construction.

BRILLIANT!!,
This review is from: Brilliant Bags: 20 Beautiful Bags to Stitch and Love (Paperback)
After reading the reviews that were already posted, I almost did not buy this book. I am so glad that I went ahead and took the chance. My young girls and I love this book. They are 9 and 6 and are very crafty, I myself love to sew and create "one-of-a-kind" things. The patterns do not need detailed instructions, if you can cut a square with given measurements, you can create on of these bags - my girls have. If you are looking to create something fun and all your own, you will probably like this bag too.
