Its a Wrap: Sewing Fabric Purses, Baskets, and Bowls

This book has very good instructions with illustrations. Have experimented with a basket and just loved the technique. A must have for any quilter. Good way to use up fabric.

Anxious to make some of these projects. Book is great

Hands-down this has to be about the best book out there for wrap bowls. Well I do have several other patterns for a wrap baskets written by other authors/pattern design companies. THIS BOOK by Susan Breier gives clear and concise set of instructions for EVERY project, with details that everyone can understand, not just those that are experienced in the art of fabric crafting. I highly recommend reading this book before you run off and buy supplies there are a list of dues and don’ts that you need to adhere to. I also recommend buying the book in paper format versus e-book because you will refer to it often.

After reading this book, I’m so ready to try out some of these projects! I can envision lots of Christmas presents for family and friends this year.

Fun projects to make with scrap materials.

I appreciate the very clear instructions with pictures, and the ideas that take this craft beyond the basics. It is very fun and easy to do.

In the 1.3 years that Ive had this book, and worked on this craft, Ive gotten enormous pleasure combining fabrics and colors and shaping bowls, hot pads, totes, hats and more, most of which Ive given to very appreciative friends and relatives. Susan Breier makes the process easy to undertand and follow, and the bright color photos offer many jumping-off points for individual creativity! My only caveat is that it is imperative to have a heavy-duty sewing machine and thick, sharp needles to get through the layers of fabric and clothesline smoothly. I pretty much destroyed an old Singer Futura I used at the beginning - but liked the craft so much that I bought a refurbished Bernina with a stronger motor and more durable parts, and it handles these projects, over and over, like sewing through butter. I enjoy that the craft isnt very exacting, like quilting, since Im not fond of meticulous cutting and sewing tasks. I get loads of compliments on my own pocketbooks and totes that Ive created, and its fun to explain to folks how theyre made.

GREAT TRANSACTION. Book was in great shape. Going to try to make these baskets on my new sewing machine; we will see. Shipping was quick, came right to the door. Couldnt ask for better

This started out as a mother, daughter craft and turned into more children joining our group. When childs take their projects home and their parents asked to show them how its done

Instructions easy to understand. Nice book.
