Absolutely The BEST Instruction Book

YES! Buy it! Don’t hesitate or even think about it. I read it once I downloaded it, and now I keep it out on my sewing table. It’s a great resource that I constantly refer to. I have learned so much from this book and it has taken my bag making to a new level and made sewing even more enjoyable and taken away the frustration of not knowing what to do.

The pattern written instructions are very easy to follow. My only suggestion for the patterns would be a you tube video link for those of us who purchase your patterns.

I will continue to buy from Amanda, she provides excellent customer service, with very prompt responses to inquiries. I am a very happy customer!
