Would like to know how much time does it take you to sew a Bow Tucks Tote Bag and if any of you has found a quicker way than to follow the steps one by one. I have a few to make as gifts and I would like to go a bit faster. Or maybe I'm being lazy in the hot tub weather.....
Thanks in advance |
I've never timed it, but I work assembly line style. I do all the cutting, fuse the batting on all the pieces, quilt all at once, assemble the handles & loop, then I go back and do the rest of the assembly. It goes quicker that way, especially if I can do all I need to without changing the the thread color. :)

After you do the first one the others work up faster.

My first one just took a few hours. I was amazed at how fast it went together.
|
Mine took about a day and a half but not all of that was sewing so probably one day. I hope the other two for my DD and DGD go faster!

I am studying the instructions before I start. Spent almost an hour last night trying to understand them and I finally got to step 8. I may do some cutting tomorrow.

Before you cut, check the strap length compared to other purses you like. I added a few inches to mine, meaning I had to cut another strip of fabric and fleece.

Although this is my first bow tucks bag, I've made many many bags before, usually from my own patterns. |
