Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon. Here are some pics of my mini-bow tucks. All the fabric came from my stash - no new purchase here (except of course the pattern).

I didn't have any fusible pellon but I had some thicker stabilizer and Heat-n-Bond so I used that instead with only one layer between the outer bag and lining. Also, I didn't have a big button so I took left over ties and knotted it for a temporary fix.

I've made quite a few handbags and found this pattern not that difficult at all but I chose to do some steps out of order 'cause it just flowed more naturally that way for me. If you are more of a visual person (which I am), you might find the instructions a bit difficult to follow. But fun to make - my next one will be bigger!!

Lovely indeed. Loaded up and ready to go out the door.

BEAUTIFUL.....
I Love the colors you used ..........
bopeep

I loved the way you put the flower in the center of the pocket and I had to laugh when I saw the inside, you're the first one I've seen that showed one full of stuff - shows you can really pack a lot in there! Great job!

Love the flowers! Great job!

That's so pretty. I bought the pattern and am waiting to try it (because of lack of pictures...I have a hard time following instuctions). When I actually do try this, I hope it turns out like yours. :-D

That's a pretty purse. I especially like the fancy stitching on the pocket. Good work! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Great Bow Tuck bag

great job! thanks for the sewing tips :P

What a nice looking bag!

Great bag...and, personally, I like the knot on the front instead of a button! Very nice!

very nice. One of these days I will get the pattern and give it a try.

Ohhhhh......what pretty fabric. Your bow tucks is great. Thanks for sharing.

I had a little bit of a hard time following the instructions, too. I'm very visual, too. I love your purse. Very good job!

That's 'cause I used it yesterday when we went to breakfast and only took pics today.

Thank you everybody - now to decide on colors and fabric for the next one

:-)

Lovely.

Very classy :!:

I think this is my favorite Bow Tucks bag so far. Colors are great and seeing it "packed up" was a treat.

Very pretty...and you are all ready all moved in!
My SIL asked for a purse for christmas and Im thinking this bow tuck would be perfect.

very pretty, i too noticed the nice stitching on the outside pocket.

Yesum off and running...great stuff.
