but I know what I did. I was making a "faux" bowtucks bags because I always liked them but never want to spring for the pattern. I see so many beautiful ones on this board that I just had to try. I did a pretty good job of figuring it out but the one part I have done on many other bags-I messed up royally! I boxed it sideways! At least I know I can make one and will NEVER (one can hope) make that mistake again. I guess I got to excited to finish near the end and stopped thinking b/c I was at something I had done before.
So disappointing.

I'm not sure what you did wrong but I think it's real pretty.

Nice and bright, i like it a lot

I guess I can't see the mistake - I think you did great - I wouldn't have the vaguest idea how to start without a pattern.

I think it is pretty. I like it.

Looks good to me.

I like it, makes the purse deeper

It still turned out beautiful :D:D:D

Wow for not having a pattern you did a exellent job :thumbup:

You didn't screw up, you just made an original creation. Very nice.. :thumbup:
