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

I received in a very timely manner. Book is exactly as described and what I was expecting.

Just got this and I can’t wait to get started making stuff with it. Tons of color pictures in it.

In the 1.3 years that Ive had this book, and worked on this craft, Ive gotten enormous pleasure combining fabrics and colors and shaping bowls, hot pads, totes, hats and more, most of which Ive given to very appreciative friends and relatives. Susan Breier makes the process easy to undertand and follow, and the bright color photos offer many jumping-off points for individual creativity! My only caveat is that it is imperative to have a heavy-duty sewing machine and thick, sharp needles to get through the layers of fabric and clothesline smoothly. I pretty much destroyed an old Singer Futura I used at the beginning - but liked the craft so much that I bought a refurbished Bernina with a stronger motor and more durable parts, and it handles these projects, over and over, like sewing through butter. I enjoy that the craft isnt very exacting, like quilting, since Im not fond of meticulous cutting and sewing tasks. I get loads of compliments on my own pocketbooks and totes that Ive created, and its fun to explain to folks how theyre made.

Great book. Havnet had time to do any of the projects, but hope to do some soon.

Very detailed instructions on how to make all basic shapes and sizes. Beautiful pictures of finished projects. Great ideas for embellishments, too.

GREAT TRANSACTION. Book was in great shape. Going to try to make these baskets on my new sewing machine; we will see. Shipping was quick, came right to the door. Couldnt ask for better

This is a great book, easy to follow instructions with pictures of what you need to do! These projects go together easily with a little practice on my first piece -easy to adapt my own fabric design to personalize the baskets, Ive made. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to add a new craft into their spare time.

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.

this is a good instruction book

These baskets are easy to make and look great. The directions are clear and the pictures are beautiful.
