Very nice. I was just at a flea market yesterday and noticed a woman selling homemade purses. They were Bow Tucks, but she made a flap (like you) & used magnetic closures, and instead of bows on the tucks she had large snaps. It held the tucks very neatly, but I missed the bows.

I was uncomfortable to start too but I decided I could do it and took the time to read through the directions first, then took a look at the tutorial before starting. It really was quite easy - I made a couple of mistakes, but overall it was fine and I know the next ones will go quickly and easily - if it wasn't so hot in my sewing room I would be out there now!

Yes, Casey is my baby - he follows me wherever I go. He is bigger than he looks - about 30 lbs. and he is getting old (12+) but I would be lost without him.
