For those who are having trouble with the bow tucks pattern....
1. If you can do without the outside pocket, skip step 1 and 7 completely. Or do it between steps 6 and 7. Step 1 has confused a lot of us. You can cut the front pocket pieces from scraps and see how it works before trying it with your "real" fabric. Once you figure it out, it's simple.
2. If step two is confusing because you are using a fabric that has to go a certain direction... don't make your first bow tucks using directional prints. Use polka dots or floral.
3. More about step 2 - instead of having a top and bottom piece, you can cut two big pieces from one fabric the same size as the lining pieces.
4. Step 3 - Quilt as desired - keep it simple - straight lines going across or up and down every couple inches is fine. You can also do criss-cross diagonally if you mark it with markers that can be removed.
