Henry R. ★★★★★

I've made three tote bags before but never attempted a proper duffle, and the step-by-step photos for installing a zipper gusset finally made it click. The signed copy was a nice touch too. Already planning a saddle bag next.

Isabella L. ★★★★★

The section on hardware and interfacing finally explained why my zippers kept puckering, and the saddle bag chapter alone was worth it. Having the author's signature inside is a nice touch too.

Violet W. ★★★★★

The signed copy was a nice surprise for my shelf, and the saddle bag pattern alone was worth it — the material notes finally explained why my last attempt puckered. I've made two baguette bags already and both look store-bought.
