I found a Walmart about 10 miles from me (store is located in Cromwell, CT) that still carries fabric. The didn't have a huge selection of fabric but enough to satisfy me. The gentleman who cut my fabric said that he heard that particular store was going to be made into a Super Walmart and the fabric department will be gone. :cry: :cry:

Now the Bow Tuck purse. I have the pattern, fabric, thread, etc. I'm terrified of starting it!!! I keep telling myself it can't be that hard. I guess I'll make an attempt to start it tonight or maybe I'll wait til tomorrow... :D :D :D

I am waiting for my pattern and I know I will feel the same way. There is a tutorials that is real nice I am depending on this to help me. Go under tutorial on this board and look for the picture tutorial this might help you also. :P

It's easy ... just follow the directions, don't plan ahead.

I have thought myself to be pattern chalenged. I have to say it was pretty easy once I read through it a couple of times. The pocket directions was someting I never did understand so I just did my own thing and so far no one can tell that I did not follow that part of the pattern. So glad that I bit the bullet and just went for it. I love making thoses bow tuck purses.

There is a great tut on here that helped me understand the directions.

It's pretty easy once you get started. Just remember we are here to help if you need us.

I am moving right along. I'm quilting the pieces now. This is FUN! :-D :-D :-D

I've had the pattern for a while and I'm fist attempting to start it tonight(we'll see how far I get...lol). It doesn't have enough pics for me. So I'm bound to mess it up. Can't wait to see how your turn out.

I'm going to quit for the night. I got to step 8. So far everything is going well. Thanks for the encouragement!!

Ok...I'm dumb... :( Where can I find the bow tucks pattern?
