I've been looking for the pattern/tutorial for bow tuck bags for 2 days and can't find it. Can only one help?

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, click on Tutorials and scroll through that list.

I've only made one so far, and it's all mine. Really enjoyed reading your confession, your writing is fun. Enjoy all those bow tucks!

I totally understand where you're going with this. I am addicted to making Kindle covers. I am 6 behind at the moment. It ended up more than I expected, but it is fun.

Hang in there and keep "puttin' 'em out."
Blessings upon you.

I'm addicted to making these. When I'm looking at fabric, I always have a bow tuck in mind.

I made one for me yesterday. I very rarely ever make anything for me. One of my co-workers went bonkers over it and asked to me make one for her. Normally, I would have said no, I hate sewing for $$. But, it's a bow tuck purse! Even DH is shocked that I said yes. She is giving me carte blanche to decide on the fabric. She just wants feminine. I have some already in mind that I specifically bought for a bow tuck purse. I'm really excited about getting home and start cutting out pieces. Should I be this excited? Does she know that she just enabled me? There is about $20 in materials in the purse and I will ask for $20 of my time. I think that is fair. I would probably just do it for the cost of material, but she said she wants to pay me for my time.

Today is boss' day, and I had made one for a manager who has schnuazers that are her children. I used a paw print material and embroideried a schnauzer on the pocket (sorry, no pics). I put some doggie treats in the bag, along with a matcing kleenix cover.

I have three complete purses in my sewing room for Christmas gifts for my friends. I really need to stop making these purses or everyone will think of me as the crazy purse lady. If I joined a 12-step program, everyone in my group will end up getting a purse! I guess it will have to be cold turkey...after this next one.
