Its a Wrap: Sewing Fabric Purses, Baskets, and Bowls

When i read all the reviews I was excited about getting this book. Now that I got it. Im thinking what is the big deal with such great reviews??? Honestly I would be afraid to use my sewing maching to make these baskets.. Every project in this book is sewed with a sewing machine... some of the bowls are pretty and I was hoping there would be some nice hand bags in there, but they are old lady bags IMO... I just dont get it.... IMO all the good reviews are decieving... I give this book 3 stars because it is a very nice book, with lots of color photos of the bowls and a few hand bags...

love it as an art form

I had a bunch of long strips of vintage fabrics for rugmaking. I was looking for more ideas on using my stash. Lots of pictures. I did kindle first but the actual book is very worth it.

Easy to do, helps to use up my fabric stash, finish in a few hours, easy directions, finished item is useful, fun to make.

This is a beautiful book with lots of color pictures of many samples to give you many ideas. The diagrams are clear and the text is well written. Two of our local quilting groups are having fun making these. Now if Accuquilt GO would only make a cutting tool for the 3/4 strips, this would be a fairly fast technique.

excellent illustrations and photgraphs, clear and easy to follow instructions, and even trouble shooting hints -- the author points out possible construction problems and offers ideas on both how to prevent them, and to correct them. Projects are presented with style and a sense of playfulness and fun -- with the idea that mistakes can be o.k. and part of the creative adventure. Unique projects appropriate for folks with a medium level of crafting experience and skills.

I received this book last week and I simply cannot wait to start. The items inside look easy to do and they look amazing. Im really looking forward to working on these projects.

Love the book and so do my students that were taught to make bowls and other items using the book information. Hope to get another book using this technique.

I was looking for more of a new sewing technique. But after looking at the book it was clear that a person that was going to invest a lot of time into sewing the pieces together with a very sophisticated sewing machine was required.

exactly as described...great condition. quick ship
