I think the main thing I like about the Bow Tucks is that you can use your very favorite fabrics and have a one of a kind purse that is yours alone. This means not everyone will like it, but it is your creation alone. I bought the pattern but have yet to make one, though I have several great fabrics in mind already. It's ok not to like Bow Tucks.

Hey, I am still looking for a good hobo bag pattern. At shows I have seen them for sale and seen ladies carrying them, but it seems like the tote (in various sizes) is the big favorite. I also like the idea of a craft section ....even if it a link to blogs.

I was interested in making one until I saw one made up. while I think it is a nice bag, it really isn't for me. Same thing with the grommet bag that's so popular. i did buy the grommet pattern and started making it. Got mostly done and really didn't like it after all. set it aside for several months. DD saw it and thought it was great so I finished it and gave it to her.Again,it was a nice bag but really not what i wanted for myself. personally I also think the vera bradley bags are over-rated too. But that's me and my taste. If others like them-that's great.

I don't know what it is. But people here in Ogden, Ut are just crazy about them. And my girlfriend is making and selling them for $40.00 each. And I get one just for asking. It will be my late Xmas present. They are cute and have lots of pockets in them. And I need lots of pockets. If you don't like them, you don't need to get one.
