I have made a couple, the last one for a friend. She had mentioned at a previous time she would never carry a purse without a zipper, so of course hers has a zipper.
It is so fun to make bags, since I must carry a bag for my oxygen I no longer carry a purse. Still I make them because it is such fun and I have lots of friends that appreciate a new purse.
Everyone bow tuck bag I have made and given away they just love all the pockets and go on and on about them.
