This is my first Bow Tucks Purse. It is also my first posting so I hope I do this right.

Congradulations! I am about to embark on my first BT, any suggestions you can offer for a first one?? Is the pattern pretty straight forward? Thx!

It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. You have to read the directions really good. I thought I'd be smart and make pattern pieces out of freezer paper and I cut the lining pattern too small. And when I made the handles I cut them the size that I wanted and made them separate. I also didn't cut the fusible fleece the 5" for the handle. I cut it 2 1/2" and fused it in the middle because there was too much bulk. Also when it says WOF it depends on how much fabric you have. The inside pockets said WOF but they were longer than the lining.

That is so cute. Where would I get the pattern?

nhnative 09-10-2011 11:50 AM

I got mine on Ebay but I just saw one today at a quilt shop. The one I made was the Mini and it was plenty big enough.

I'm doing the Ohio Shop Hop and I'm buying fabric for more of them. You can never have enough purses.

Before you start you check the measurements. I made the Mini and it was plenty big.
