Very cute - love the colors! I also like the zipper pouch idea. Do you have a tute for that part?

Yes I too was wondering if you have a tutorial for the zippered pouch part?
My dh picked a fabric from my stash that he liked and I picked one. Then we went to Joanns to get a couple of things I needed to fix for his work supplies. So while we were there and for doing the projects he wanted done, I got enough fabrics to make 2 purses.

When you make your bags do you prewash first? Also has anyone put snaps on your bags? At my lqs they made one with a snap. I think I would like to try making one with a snap.

I am getting ready to make another one. The first one I made was the mini bow-tucks and this time I am going to make the regular sized one. I am going to use magnetic closures on them from now on since I do not care to always have to pull the loop over and around the button. I have used the magnetic closures on several other bags I have made. They are very simple to put in. You might try that instead of a snap.

Just jump right in a do the pattern one step at a time. Ask questions here if you run into a problem. They are really fun.

When I made the mini tote purse I made a flap to go over the top and used velcro to make the closure. I still put a nice button on the flap. I think it looked good.

My suggestion would be to cut out more than one at a time. After you make one, you'll want to make more. They are like potato chips, can't have just one.

They're really easy to make just pay attention to the directions.

TIP: Make sure you attach the button loop to the back piece of the purse, not the front with the pocket. Ask me how I know.

TIP: Make the button loop less than the 7 1/2 inches they suggest. I find that 7 1/2 is too long.

:)

We decided to leave out the pocket that goes all around the inside of the purse (I prefer to grope instead.) and that made it a lot easier. If I did it again, I'd put one pocket inside. We did three and after the first one was figured out, the others went very quickly.
Go for it!

This is what I'm going to do to the one I'm making now. My question is, at what point do I put the magnetic snap on? I have never used these snaps so not sure at what step I would do this.

Thanks
