The Build a Bag Book: Tote Bags: Sew 15 stunning projects and endless variations

Absolutely brilliant. Everything you expect from a Debbie Shore book. Great concept in a hard back folder to keep everything in one place. Can’t recommend this book enough. Great for the absolute beginner and for the more accomplished bag maker. Price is also very good for the amount you get with regards to knowledge from Debbie, templates which are easy to enlarge and it looks great on your bookshelf. Just buy it.

Nice selection of bags to make for various occasions, gift making etc...The colours on the pictures are very vibrant and the explaination text seems straight forward. It also come with 2 re-usable plastic templates in the cover pocket , which are really useful. Shame I can't put my hands on the materials she chose, dam lockdown! :P

great book comes with plastic templates which are really easy to use again and again. These templates cover the designs in the book Step by step instruction from the author Debbie with plenty of photos to enhance your learning and some tips along the way. Lots to make . Hard thing is deciding which shall I make first.

Very useful book from debbie. Having the templates makes life alot easier. The instructions are fairly clear but occasionally she seems to skip over bits that I need to know, like "now sew the base in" but I'm like, ok, how do i do that? Have to either improvise or resort to finding a video. However that aside, they are good books, I have the occasion bags book to and will buy the upcoming satchel one too. I'm a amateur sewer and I've found them very useful

I absolutely love Debbie Shaw. I purchase every book so I have a very large collection. This book is amazing. It’s been cleverly put together and the pattern is so easy to use. If you enjoy making gifts for friends and family then this book is for you. I’ve made many tote bags and other stuff to give out as gifts, I enjoy creating lovely handmade gifts for others. Excellent book as they all are 😀

This book is the Book is the Best Sewing Book for beginners who like to start creating their own bags like my self which I have made bags and storage bags from only using 2 pieces of A4 paper to create my own bag design and it works very well and this book is full of hits and tips on what to do if you make a mistake and it show you how to fix the mistake so if you like to sewing and start creating your own bags then this book is for you and enjoy sewing and if you make a mistake all you have to do is unpick the stitches and try again

What a brilliant book, I’ve made several of the bags, several times. The plastic patterns/templates are a great idea. The instructions are clear and I think a beginner could follow the book too. Well worth buying

for a sewing book this debbie shore book was easy to follow & understand , there are plenty of bag options the hardest bit of the book is choosing which to make first once you have your supplies in hand each pattern shows which piece of template is needed and there are clear picture instructions as well well done Debbie Shore i hope she brings out many more books in this type

Ras .Une bonne styliste.

Great book! Lots of pictures and well laid out, detailed instructions. Nice bag patterns- Modern styles and you can adjust the pattern to any size bag. Having the patterns right in the book is a fantastic idea and they’re all kept neatly in a pocket in the back. Recommend this for a all sewing enthusiast!

Love all of Debbie's books, patterns are easy to follow. They can be adjusted for your own style or design. Great for ideas to expand on. Addend: went to make a bag from this book and one of the templates was missing, pretty much making the book useless.

The bags are really little for my taste, is good to learn some techniques but I’m not quite impressed. The pattern is always the same and you just change little details...like adding a bow or a zipper... but the bag itself it’s always the same. You just need to copy the pattern, I would like more that she explained the actual technique so you can do the bag in different. sizes, not a big deal since I found in Internet how to box corners with formulas... I’m final review it’s that if I could Iwouldn’t buy this book again, and probably will not buy a book from her again since I saw she does always the same bag just changing little details

Libro molto bello e pratico, in inglese. Ha una copertina rigida esterna con chiusura con elastico (tipo cartellina) e poi dentro c'è il libro con copertina morbida e a lato tasca trasparente porta cartamodelli; che non sono di carta bensì in plastica trasparente riutilizzabili per sempre, per tutti i modelli di borse. Diciamo che i modelli base sono 4 con poi tutte le piccole varianti. Le spiegazioni sono illustrate e spiegate passo passo. Sono molto soddisfatta dell'acquisto e anche della spedizione, che è arrivato una settimana prima del previsto (ordinato il 25/9 arrivato il 28/9).
