Where do you get your beads? They look like glass rather than the plastic pony beads.
the beads are wood.. they come in a good size bag with muliple colors in them..
green, blue, burgundy, black, natural. I am going to get more later today.. i get them at joann's in the jewelry making aisles.. I also get the silver ones there.. big bag also of various shapes..they come in gold as well.
when i go , i get silver, gold. and two bags of colors...
Thanks Colleen! I've made a lot of bags but still haven't tried my bowtucks pattern. But I guess it's time to bite the bullet and give her a try!

Do you use the fusible batting on the main fabric and Decor Bond on the lining?
I use the fusible pellon on outside and inside fabric and the pockets.. If my fabric is heavy for outside then I use a lighter weight on the inside lining.
