If I remember correctly I've seen a tutorial on this board for the bow tucks bags. Have you checked the tutorial section?

Rev Bev (QB member) has one on her blog site. It's excellent with great instructions.
I've made one and have started another. The instructions seem confusing at first but if you take your time and look at Pam's tute you shouldn't have any trouble. Good luck.

I have been wanting to make one too.

cathyquilty 04-19-2011 07:51 PM

how do I find Rev Bev Blog ?

I made a few and have a suggestions. Instead of the button, get the sew in magnets for closure. I liked it much better.

I have made one and they really are not as hard as they look. The pattern is wirtten GREAT, I think there is just one little part on the front pocket that trips people up (it did me for a bit till I thought about how it should look), but other than that if you go slow and follow the directions to the letter you will be so surprised how easy it is. Check out some of the tutes that were linked, but hoenstly just jump in and try, you will do fine!!

Cheers!
Rachel
