    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    I saw this over on HUKD earlier, and was tempted to buy, but having read the reviews I'm now undecided.

    Has anyone got this book, and would you recommend? The reviews say that the instructions are not explained well and someone even said they didn't get enough fabric to make the bag! This would be devastating if I gave it as a gift and she (my Mum) couldn't even make the bag. Any MSE reviewers out there??

    TIA.

    It's only a game

    If you look inside the book at the table of contents there are a lot of bag 'projects' I wonder if the person who didn't have enough fabric made the wrong bag.

    Can I just that I've read it right. Do you get the book and material to make a bag? When I click on the link it just says 'Sew' paperback. Sorry for being dim

    EDIT- sorry I enlarged the picture and can see where it says about the material etc. Great buy, got one for me and one for my friends Christmas. Thanks op
