You did a great job and I love the colors, will be great for fall and winter.

I used a magnetic snap that I bought at JoAnn Fabrics - it was easy to put in and holds very well.

I saw a flap similar to this on another Bow Tucks purse here on the board and knew that I liked it much better than the button closure. I like the more secure feeling of it too.

I'm afraid to use the magnetic snap because I'm not sure how to do it. A friend had hers pull out and it left a hole in the material.

I love your fabric choice. I've GOT to find that pattern someplace and make some for Christmas gifts.

I haven't been into the purses, not that I don't like them. This is the classiest one I think I've ever seen and now I'm inspired to make one. Don't get insulted out there. I haven't been into them because I detest carrying a purse, not because they aren't beautiful. I haven't seen an ugly one yet and so appreciate the work involved.
