Ok People! How do I get a Bow Tucks Pattern?

I paid 35$ for my first one that I bought at a quilt show three years ago. That was for the smaller version. Where can you get a purse that is handcrafted for that price. Don't put too small a value on your work.

You can do a search and find them at Amazon.com, quilt shops, ebay. Here is one

I think your are in the right price range and wouldn't change it. However, I did craft shows for many years selling ceramic items and porcelain dolls and know that people want everything for nothing - especially those people who don't do handcrafted items and have no idea of the cost involved and the time you put into making things. Good luck and let us know how you do!

Just one of the things I've learned in the last 30 years of making jewelry and selling it at jewelry shows is this: If you don't value your work, your customers won't either. I would put $40 and $45, mark them hand crafted designer bags and then give a small discount if they purchase more than one. You can always come down and that makes a customer feel like they got a bargain. Unfortunately, no one ever wants to pay an artist for their time and I know you put hours in these lovely bags. They are really beautiful, you have a great eye for color and combinations! Good luck!!

Wonderful bags. I do not think they are worth a penny less than what you plan to ask. However, most people will not pay that much as they don't understand how much it costs to make them....let along the hours spent in the sewing. I, personally, have had several people ask me to make them a purse, but when I tell them just what the fabric will cost, they back out. You will find some that understand and will buy, but probably few. I wish you luck, but don't sell just to get rid of them......get your price!!!! JMHO...:)
