I have pondered this question many times and really enjoyed this discussion. Like many of you, I am not a "coordinated" person so making BTBs (bow tucks bag) doesn't appeal to me in that sense. I am also purse-challenged, once made a purse with a "hidden inside pocket" that was so hidden it ended up inside the lining! And that 2hr Tulip purse took me 3 days! But, was so fascinated with all the BTBs here I had to try it. Almost tossed it before I even had the pieces cut. However, I kept my nose to the grindstone and finished it. Everyone raves about it. Went in for a pedicure one day and if I was so inclined, could have made and sold 5 right there for $50 bucks apiece. So, not for me, but I enjoy seeing what the other ladies have made. I much prefer to put my time and energy into complicated multi-layered applique and many other ladies don't see the fun in that either. To each his own, that's what the old woman said when she kissed the cow.
