Still in the process of making my first Bow Tucks tote and my SQA sent me the Lazy Girl Design 'The City Bag'. It is large -11 x 17 with a front and back pockets and inner pockets.
My Bow Tucks is the large and I think I want the small also.

I don't have a favorite bag, but I make a lot of wonder wallets. I love making all kinds but only really use the polso pouch and wonder wallets regularly. I've got a couple of patterns using grommets to try next. Here's alink to my webshots pictures of bags and quilts; there are a lot of duplicates, but just ignore most of them :))

I have made a few variations of the Heart of Mary messenger bag. I love it. I made the small one last fall before going on vacation. I'm in the process of designing a bag myself... it is hard to find the *perfect* bag... I tend to shy away from ones that I only see a picture of since you really just don't know if it will be perfect.
I don't change my purse out every day - or even often. I begin to use one and I stick with it for a long time.

OH GEE ....This is a hard one. My all time favorite bag is one by BUTTERICK B4148 (A) version. Then there is a VOGUE V8140 All three are nice bags when you are finished, but the "A" version I have made tons of and still get request for. McCall's M4851 is a nice sized tote with an organizer and lots of pockets. I personally love the black with multi colored accents one.
The Gee's Bellino backpack bag is the next one I am making when I find the fabric I want to make it in. And last but, not least, is a book called Purses Bags & Totes by Cindy Taylor (Taylor Made Designs, publisher) This was a gift to me by my late friend kitty. There are 14 wonderful ones in there to try.

There is a pattern called screenplay that are fun small gift bags. You use colored screening to make them.
Oh ... and I have made a few of the bow tucks.
I have a box of leathers that was gifted to me by my buddy, pat smith. I really need to try and play with that.
By the way... The one in my atavar is a bag I designed and won fourth place in a contest with. The key chain has a garage door opener in it. Here is the photostream site with the pics ...
