5.0 out of 5 stars
Creative and Inspiring
Having given up much of my past creative sewing due to long working hours, Linda's book reminds me that sewing today is indeed a creative art form--and that the needle art forms produce not only attractive items, but useful ones as well. The excellent photos help even a novice with the details of construction and serve as a springboard for exercising one's own creativity!

Disappointed
I purchased the book originally anticipating patterns and helpful construction advice. Unfortunately, this was not provided. The book primarily focuses on embellishments, etc. While the bags are dated, they can stimulate some ideas. Unfortunately, many of the shapes, etc. are long past being stylish.

This review is from: Linda McGehee's Simply Sensational Bags: How To Stitch and Embellish Handbags, Totes and Satchels (Paperback)
The introductory chapter which gives basics of pocketbook construction are useful. The rest of the book deals mostly with embellishment and sewing techniques. I was disappointed. The color reproduction is good but many of the bags are dated and not fashionable at all.

Linda McGehee is the queen of structured bags. Her instructions are well written and her patterns are easy and fun, while still making elegant bags. It's all about the fabric, and Linda's samples are gorgeous. They go from fun with frogs and embrodery to elegant and dressy. You can find inspiration in this book.
