Each bag and its "extra" are well designed and crafted. with easy to read and understand directions for creating a really unique. useful quality product. Some of her "extras" would make great gifts!! As usual. Susan Briscoe has maintained her outstanding design standard and combined it with clear instructions and quality photography to help inspire and guide the reader to a successful result.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. I liked this bookletBy Susie MainsThis is a great product for the advanced sewer. I found the instructions a bit hard to understand. although the pictures seemed to help on deciphering what the written instruction were describing. I liked the many patterns found within the booklet. and I think this was a great purchase.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fabulous fat quarter bagsBy ozmaggieReally worthy of more stars as the content is excellent. Instructions for making the bags is quite detailed and easy to follow. I think it would be worth buying the book to gain the maximum benefits. however I will be using my kindle to make some of the bags over Winter. which is coming up fast in Australia as I write. Good projects and not too hard to do.
