I agree. I make bags and sell them, based on an old purse I love from the 70's. It tucks up under my arm and is the perfect size for me. I've also been making messenger bags, but I am still fooling with the pattern.
I also make my bags out of vintage barkcloth, which is much sturdier than quilting cotton. I think I would destroy a bow tuck bag in about 2 weeks, just wear out the fabric.
Some of them are really pretty, but they are just not my particular thing.
Hi, I love the look of barkcloth also. Are you finding any fabric ? I searched sales this summer & found not a piece.
guess I should Google it, but bet the new prices are high.
love your bags !
