    Exactly what I was looking for
  

*by J***G on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2019*

I am a guy in my 50's who like to buy and fix up old sewing machines, the older, vintage style machines are works of art and just a delight to get running well. I have always intended to learn enough to sewing my own small bags and backpacks. This book is exactly what I have been looking for casually over the past few years. I finally found it :)This book does an excellent job of quickly bringing you up to speed on sewing machines and just what you need to know to sew these projects or your own projects. It is about sewing with heavy fabrics, how to select those fabrics and the techniques for sewing them into useful things.Most of the example projects are exactly the kind of simple, useful, utility, sturdy bags of various types, sizes and shapes that I have always wanted make + a few other example projects that are great learning projects that you are happy to do because you end up with something nice and useful, like the heavy work apron or wood carrier.There are excellent instructions and techniques for using a "vintage" domestic sewing machine, the kind that were all metal. The book is all done using a nice 1962 industrial machine, but the author really only focuses on very specific techniques to achieve the similar results using an older domestic machine. Great. really nicely done, answered a lot of questions I had about the best way to work with heavy materials, including leather.I have not looked extensively, but in some looking at other books about sewing bags, they are not these kind of utility bags.You will have to practice a bit on your own and might need to watch a youtube video or two if you have never used a sewing machine before. I had put thread to fabric as part of testing machines I was working on and had to test out stitches, zigzag and play with stitch width and length, but this book will also just sort of suggest what you should start at and go from there, as well as the common rules of thumb for those settings.And I think the example projects look great as well.Edited to Add: All the measurements are in centimeters as I believe the author is in Europe. No big deal, but surprised me when I saw it. I actually find it easier than fractions of an inch.
