 Easy to make, unique bags January 9, 2009
I had seen this book before but not bought it until recently when at a holiday party someone made the T-shirt bag for a "wacky tacky grab bag" game. It was opened to shouts of "Too Nice!!" and "Hey, all I got was a duck that quacks Jingle Bells, no fair!" Needless to say the bag was coveted by all, and was stolen repeatedly until the end. I spoke with the woman who made it, who said not only was it easy, but easy to modify to keep the design on the shirt front and center. I bought the book and now am thinking I want to run a booth at my local Green Expo showing how to make some of the bags. The bags come out looking amazing, considering you are often stapling and duct taping! I highly recommend this book for crafty people!
Brilliant! December 26, 2008
Saw the author make a t-shirt bag on the Today Show, and thought it was absolutely brilliant. The t-shirt bag and others in the book seem like fantastic ideas for a daughter's craft-y birthday party -- among other things.
wow! November 30, 2008
This is one of the most amazing how-to books I've ever used. So far I've made two of the bags and they they both look fabulous. I hope the author writes another book soon. I'll be the first to buy it.
Excellent book for simple projects November 29, 2008
I bought this book after seeing the author's demonstration on Martha. The author delivers on the promise of innovative use of simple materials to create functional bags in a short amount of time. These are perfect projects for Girl Scouts, birthday parties and the like, and the style suits every pre-teen and teen girl I know.
 Simply Sublime Bags - Lots of fun November 19, 2008
The ideas in this book are great - only problem is enlarging the patterns. A copy business would not do it even though permission is given in the book so it took quite a bit of time figuring out how to make the patterns. The bags I made were fun and easy.
