Making Vintage Bags Original Patterns
I thought this book to be terrific for the wonderful handbags and smaller change purses in the book. Not only do your get that wonderful vintage feel, but none of the bags have that `homemade' look to them. If you select the correct fabrics, these bags look like they would have come from a stylish boutique shop. All the must know information is at the front of the book so that you get a general grounding in purse making techniques prior to individual purse instructions. The purses themselves are in chapters according to the styles of each decade starting with the 1920's. The purses are shown in full color photographs including usually at least one variation on each of the basic designs. Each purse has been given a name which makes it easy to be sure you are using the proper pattern piece and directions. It will be so nice to refer to your `Clara' bag than that you have to grab your purse. The end of the book includes all the pattern pieces you will need to make the handbags, however you will need to enlarge them 165%.
Other than not having full sized pattern pieces, I didn't notice any negatives in this book. The terrific bags more than make up for the need to size up your pattern pieces. As it is a library book and I don't get to keep it, I will be placing it on my all ready very full wish list.
