Well I have had this pattern for some time, but, I wanted a new tote bag, so here is my vision of a bow tuck tote. (This is the larger version of the pattern) All the wonderful bow tuck bags recently posted got me to thinking it was time to make it. LOL!

I added the flap to one of the pockets inside and made a tiny zippered case for putting little things in there I don't want to lose. I have enough of the fabric I quilted to make a cosmetic bag and an eye glass case today.

I want that pattern!! Where???

RedGarnet222 05-03-2010 10:26 AM

Thank you everone! I love this fabric. It has bumble bees and dragon flies on there too.

Hi Clem55,
The Local Quilt store near you will have it, that is unless they are sold out of it. This pattern goes like hot cakes. There is a mini bow tucks and a bow tucks tote. The size difference is only about two or three inches in either direction, so it could be changed up (by you) to make either size if you get one or the other pattern.

thank you, I will go see about it later this week.

Thank You everyone. I really enjoyed making this one, it was for me! LOL! I made the sun glasses case, a case for my compact and a cosmetic case to organize it further today. Now to find some cute purple sandals...

Your bag is beautiful. I've been looking at this pattern for some time now. And you've just made me decide. I have a trio of fabric(hummingbirds on one) the I bought a few years ago. This pattern is purfect for it! Thanks so much for sharing.

Just beautiful, great fabric and great idea to quilt the inside pockets, I don't understand the flap, does it cover something, sorry to sound stupid but I don't get it. I'm in the process of sewing my second Bow Tucks bag in beige/navy blue colors, I will post pics.

I know it sounds crazy, but my cell phone is an anodized metal and it slips all over the place in any purse I put it in. Even in tight little pockets .. So that is what the flap is for.
Since this was mine I customed it to meet my needs. LOL!

There was a whale fabric tote someone made here on the board this week (sorry I can't remember who made it). I loved that tote and I found that fabric on sale at hancoks for four bucks a yard! Hoffman fabric no less! I will make a couple for the silent auction for the diabetic kids. Now to find a companion from my stash.




:D :D

Love the colors and the purse pattern. I keep seeing the pattern pop up and guess I'm going to have to buy it as it keeps calling to me.
