Half Yard™ Bags & Purses: Sew 12 beautiful bags and 12 matching purses [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

This is such a fun book! It is a beautiful book to flip through filled with fun projects to sew. The directions are very clear and include photos. I’ve made 5 of the “Miss Messenger” bag now and I just love it. Great buy. Debbie Shore does not dissapoint.

Love this book! Have made two versions of the messenger bag pattern so far using fabric scraps from other projects. Very easy to follow, has turned out great. Nice way to use interesting, small amount of fabric.

I wish this were in spiral binding, but I can remedy that issue myself. Other than that this has been a great brush-up on long-forgotten sewing and patterns as well!! I haven’t gotten to get very far into this as we’ve been a bit busy. I do have a severe traumatic brain injury so relearning things constantly. And this book is one of my favorites already!!

There are so many interesting and innovative details to learn, while making each of these bags. Very cool designs. I love the snap on straps on the sides. Can't wait to sew these. Fun!!

This is an awesome book you will not be sorry you ordered this book. Debbie Shore is an awesome author and she goes in great detail that you can see in the book I'm so looking forward to making all of these purses

Love this book.

Easy to use

Very cute ideas for easy and fast projects. Well written description s and good photography

Love these books by Debbie Shore. So easy to follow and her videos on youtube support the books and are first class. I'm a novice but I've been able to make loads of goodies from her books - bags, blinds, aprons, tea cosies - the list is endless. I highly recommend them and can guarantee you'll be able to make some lovely items. IF I CAN, ANYONE CAN! (So say my family who can't believe I can now sew, I once sewed my tree shirt to the table cloth and had to shout for help!!)

Nice book and I bought a few but didn't realise there were no actual templates in the book. Debbie does other books with the templates in them which is much better for a beginner. To be honest I will probably sell them on again.

I love Debbies designs so classy and professional looking. I am fairly new to bag making and found some of the written instruction a little sparse and I personally needed a little more detail. Often having to improvise myself as I didnt quite understand what she meant. I would not recommend for a total beginner unless you can get help. ie she wraps a 2" mesh with 2.5" fabric which is impossible.

There are some good projects in the book but in many of these the instructions are unclear even though there are pictures, overall the projects are achievable but require a lot of thought when attempting them.

I love all Debbie’s work but this is a rehash of bags she has already done but with minor adjustments. A bit disappointed but good for newbies to bag making
