They look interesting and I would like to try one.

There are several tote and bags patterns available online, but I believe that the "bow tucks" pattern is only available for sale. I got mine at Connectingthreads.com. If you are looking for a free pattern try the webiste DIYbaglover.com

Sorry, I did not give you the active links but you can do a google search for them.

I don't think there are any free patterns, it is still too new :D:D:D

You might want to try putting in a request in the Classifieds. Someone there might be wanting to sell their's.

I got mine on ebay and it was worth every penny I spent on it.

I agree the bow tucks pattern is too new, but this site has several others. The Maddie looks a little like a Bowtuck, but doesn't have a different patterned base. http://www.homespun-threads.com/free...e=products_all

What a great site, IrishRose. Thanks
