    I've made one Bow Tuck, it wasn't too bad but I did get stuck a couple times and needed help. I think there's a tutorial on here for the Bow Tuck. I just completed Charm Party Tote (ps016) by Quilts Illustrated and I thought the directions were a little easeir to understand.

    I really like many of the Mc Calls and Simplicity patterns. I pick them up when they are $1 at Joanns. I think they are going to be that over Memorial day weekend. Notice I said THINK - I'm not for sure about that.

    The Tulip purse is real easy, and takes only 2 hours, it is neat and will try to get a picture of mine.

    Don't be so hesitant, they are not as hard as they look. I made the my favorite bag pattern with grommets and did just fine. They look more intimidating than they are. If you can do a quilt, trust me you can do a purse, just go slow if your unsure

    They are not as hard as you might think. Find an easy pattern and go for it.

    If you have an AC Moore craft store near you......The sell kits to make bags and totes. I bought a tote. It is a panel with all the pieces stamped on. Before I cut them out I measured them. It was super easy. I made 12 of them for Christmas presents for the girls at work. If I can figure out how to get a pic on here I will post them.
