Beautiful bag. All you ladies keep making these adorable bags and I can't seem to get time in spite of everthing I do. I am too cheap to pay someone to make me one...guess that is not true...just have other priorites right now.

One of these days I will post my own here. All these gorgeous fabric combinations are almost overwhelming! Don't know how I could decide on the fabrics. They are all so beautiful.

That's a really cool bag. I can completely understand the interest :) Looks like you'll be in business in no time at all :)

I'd love to hear a solution to this too...zippers scare me! LOL But my daughter-in-law would love one w/a zipper.

My sister in law what's seven! My cousin was taking orders from her co-workers! Hey, wait a minute.... this was supposed to be fun... not stressful!!

To make quicker work of it, do what you can assembly line style. That's what I did. I did all the cutting, then all the fusing, then whatever quilting with the same color thread I could, assembled all the handles and loops. Then I went back and assembled the body of the bags. It seemed to go quicker that way. I sold a few of the Mini Bow Tucks bags for $40 each. I think I could have gotten more though. Good luck!
