Here's my 3rd attempt at the Bow Tuck and I'm still not thrilled with how they look.

I think I'm going to have to make the solid color at the bottom a little shorter so more of the top fabric shows.

I also think I'm going to shorten the handles a little bit.

If anyone has a better snappy bag layout / directions than the one on Tattered Garden I'd sure appreciate that also as they seem like they could look better but I'm stumped as to how to do it at this point.

Here's the first 2 I did (twin cows, lol) and I like them more since the fabric was "tweedy" rather than cotton I think...it gave them more body.

Stitching around the top by the handles is awful though since it's so thick with the batting, any suggestions from y'all would be terrific also.
