I think I might have given the wrong impression regarding my question about the bow tucks. I was wondering why they were so popular, but because I just wanted to know what made them so popular, not because I thought there were too many or anything. I actually had hoped that the report was that it was a super easy pattern. Lol
Sorry if I offended anyone!! :-)

not here

I read the post and didn't think it should offend anyone. I was curious too. I finally made one for my mom and it was a lot of fun and turned out great. I will make more and just ordered the mini bowtuck pattern.

That is why I wish tone and facial expression could come across our messages! :) They make all the difference!

I didn't take it that way. I just assume you wanted opinions, not that you didn't like them. Even if you didn't everyone's got their own tastes and I think we are all adult enough to respect others opinions whether or not they are ours

If I'm ever in doubt how a message will be taken I sneak in a LOL.

I never for a minute thought you were saying anything critical of them--you sorta expressed my thoughts when I first started seeing them. But once I made one, I sure changed my mind.

As to whether they are hard, I didn't find it so, but I did make sure to read the directions several times before I tried it. And if you start one and have questions there are lots of people here who will help.

Not offended here. :-) It's all in the pockets for me. This is the first bag ever that I can (usually) find everything in!

Okay whew!!! I just started thinking about it last night and so hoped that I didn't make it sound like I didn't like them, or wasn't interested. I want to make a bag at some point, but need either an was one, or one with wonderful directions, so I was curious about what it was about this bag that made everyone love it so much.
Thanks for the reassurance that I didn't offend you!!
