Inspiring designs & easy to follow instructions,
By
This review is from: Quilted Bags & Totes (Paperback)
Ms. Clason did a remarkable job with this collection of usable, stylish bag designs that are easy to make following her excellent instructions. She uses supplies that are easy to find, and easy to manipulate to make the final product a unique, one-of-a-kind expression of the maker. Does require some sewing knowledge to follow her instructions.

great quilted bags!,
By Lynne "Lynne" (West Coast) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilted Bags & Totes (Paperback)
I just love this book, the instructions are easy to read and understand. Denise makes quilting a lot of fun with the embellishments and added accents for each purse. I especially like the messenger bag. Mine holds so much! there are full size patterns in the back of the book for some of the purses, much better than having to enlarge them myself! I recommend this book for any level sewing skill or quilting skill!

By A reader (Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Quilted Bags & Totes (Paperback)
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 bea ble to make bags from this book. Highly recommended.
