This is my 1st Bow Tucks Purse.

Could you maybe use the magnetic closure things instead of snaps?

Yes, but I have never used them before! Maybe in the next one I make???

Well, I did Number 5, (gotta add ties and a button) for a friend of mine who needs some cheering up. So I thought this fabric would work well:

I like it!!!!

An idea: Where you would insert the ties, instead put tabs and put snaps or hook and loop fastener on each one. You could us the magnetic snaps made for purses, or decorative ones like for clothing. Either are easy to install.

What about a small say 2 inch piece of elastic sewn while stretched alittle. Then it would gather nicely and be hidden by the lining. No snaps or ties, just alittle rouching. Everyone has alittle elastic laying around, don't they??

I love that fabric!!! Lucky friend!

Each of the bags are just as beautiful of the rest. YOu are doing a great job. I just have to get myself motivated and get the nerve to try mine. So much fabric, so many beautiful bags, so little time.

If I could just get off this computer more, I might get more work done. This group is addictive!!!! Once I get on line, it is just so hard to turn it off.

Splendid, it brings out the animal in me,lol!!! Love your fabrics!
