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?

You aren't dumb! I bought my pattern at my local quilt store. I've read other threads where people have bought the pattern off of eBay. Good luck!

Charm Packs Plus has them, or did have.

Don't be scared - read the directions, take a break for a while then read them again. I try to mentally put the pieces together as I read the directions before I start sewing. They are easy to make and so addictive. I have made several to keep and to give as gifts.

I'm sure yours will turn out great!

lol...I knew I would mess it up. Staring all over again.

I got mine from the Charpacks plus site and it was awhile ago so maybe she has more patterns in. I use prequilted fabric for the outside of my purse and use a fuseable fleece in the lining. I didn't have any trouble at all making my purses. I've made two already, but on the second one, I put a pocket on both sides as the person I made it for likes a lot of pockets. It's not hard at all, but I think the hardest part is choosing the fabric to make it with. Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

Come on you can do it.It realy is easy,i promise you.:)
