Was even more pleased when I actually handled this small purse/clutch . . . is elegant and well made, and can hold all the necessities. My only wish would be that it had a longer cord so that it could hang from the shoulder, as well, and free one's hands . . . but is certainly worth the price and more . . . really love it!

This is a very nice clutch for the price but the strap is made of a cheap nylon rope. If your not planning on using the strap then I would recommend this for the price.

I own several books on making handbags, and this is hands down my favorite. Instead of using the book for its step by step patterns, I've used it as a resource book on how to create things with alternative materials. I've applied the techniques contained in this book to many alternative materials such as naugahide (sp?) and vinyl. What I really appreciated was the breakdown so the projects can be done on home sewing machines instead of by hand or with industrial machines. All of my bags are made from recycled materials and owning this reference has really helped me bring my work up to a whole new level. The project gallery at the end of the book is just as inspirational as the projects themselves. Enjoy!

This is an excellent book - clear, well written instructions, concepts that are workable, and beautifully photographed. Be aware though, that this book is a rerelease with a different cover, and slightly different title. [...]
