There are many ways to express yourself including making bags. It is another way to show your sewing talents. Bow tuck bags are easy to make,have many side pockets inside for organization, making them like the highly expensive Vera Bradley bags. Yes there are many bag patterns out there bow tuck bags is just another one. I love to make quilts and also make a wide variety of bags, it's something else to do when a big project is not what in the works. I am making 7 different bags right now that people are paying me for just in time for Christmas.
