Does it have to be a heavier cotton for Bow Tuck bags or is the weight you use in a quilt ok??

quilt weight is fine, deapery weight is even better, in my opinion

Regular quilting cotton is just fine. By the time you add your pellon for stiffing and the lining it will hold well.

Do I need to use interfacing?? What is pellon please?

The pattern calls for fusible fleece. Pellon is the manufacturer's name.

Thanks--the pattern says 2 yards do I need that much?? I must sound like a newbie to sewing but as you see I am in England

I used less than a yard for my bow-tucks. I bought 2 yards and have enough left for at least one more bow tuck.

I'm in England and bought my pellon from a quilting shop nearby. You can get it on ebay too. I've just finished my first bow tuck and am really pleased with it (I used cotton fabric). Good luck with yours.

Thank you all ---now off to look on E bay or some P&Q sites ---may have to get it online.

PS --Annie have you posted a photo!!

Where do you get the pattern?

I sent for it from www.cozycottagefarics.com
They sound very nice and even put in a litlle note thanking me for the order-----that doesn't happen much in England

Ebay had the patterns for $9.95 with free shipping in the US. Hope ths helps! I'm ordering one.

I just ordered some patterns from pursepatterns.com. Got the bow tuck one, a tote and a cupcake purse pattern I hope to make for A(adorable)GD Lizzy.

I wonder if there are any totes you can make for little boys. I was thinking in a shape a boy would think was cool. Jake is 6 yrs old. Hate to just make things for sissy.
