I bought mine (mini bow tuck) off of donnajean here on the board. She was great to deal with. I also think Charming on the board has a link to an online free pattern. I don't know if it is the bow tuck or just something similar.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: The wallpaper border at my doctor's office would make a nice bottom section. I haven't even made one and I couldn't believe I was sitting there thinking that. I think I will join the 12 step program - let's see- if there are ten of us in the group and we each make one for all the others.... hmmmm... :P

I too love to make purses and totes. But I can't make just one at at time. I usually cut 3 or 4 different prints for the same bag and sew assembly line style.
I either sell them or give as gifts. Love the Bow Tucks bag too, but I make a variety of styles. Very addictive! But so much fun!

I have the pattern and plan on making a few for XMas gifts. My daughter is in WV and I plan on making her an Iowa Hawkeye one. Her office is decorated with that theme
