bermudahwin Posted November 15, 2018 Report Posted November 15, 2018 Has anyone bought this book? https://fashionary.org/products/bag-design# It seems pricey, but is it worth it? I have the 1960 W C Double book on Handbag construction already, but it is factory oriented (loads of good stuff in there) but he was head of Leathergoods at Cordwainers Technical College in 1950s / 1960s when it was very trade focussed. So I am looking for something a wee bit more user friendly. Is there a forum where we can post reviews of Books, Magazines, Videos? Thanks for feedback Harry Quote No longer following it.
Members blue duck Posted November 15, 2018 Members Report Posted November 15, 2018 What are you trying to find Harry? Patterns, construction techniques, ideas? If you understand construction techniques and create your own patterns, this book may give you some ideas. However, there are no detailed patterns. The drawings that you see in the description of the book are pretty much all it amounts to. I found it interesting, but if I were you I would see if a local library could get it in for you to check out if possible. If there is something specifically you are wanting from it, I can try and find it for you. kat Quote May God Smile on you today.

Had it been about half the price I think I would have been more taken by it. Unfortunately Rural UK and Local Library do not go hand in hand. Best Harry Quote No longer following it.

bermudahwin Posted November 15, 2018 Author Report Posted November 15, 2018 Thank you Brian I'd seen that, but the UK Amazon page has it at 38 buck, but no one had commented on it. Best Harry Quote No longer following it.

That's how I learned futhark runes as a nipper , the book was in Manchester, and I was in the New Forest. Should have remembered. Into Dereham tomorrow then.

alpha2 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) futhark runes as a nipper I did not know that. I did not know futhark, (okay, truth be told, I still don't know futhark), and I thought runes was a noun, and nipper escapes me, completely. So, I am now more informed, but as to what, I'm not sure. I LOVE THIS FORUM! I do like to think that if I watched the total series of Monty Python again, I'd understand this. Except my local Brit translator passed away a while ago. And without him, I'd still not know that "xheour.letyhe[ri]tj" tanslated as "well, that's a fair cop". I'll never get that hour back. (Volume up, listen, volume up more, listen, give up and call the Scot.) RIP, Ted. I LOVE THIS FORUM! Jeff Edited November 18, 2018 by alpha2 Quote So much leather...so little time.
