WOW! They're very pretty! My fav is the 1st one. I love the colors that you used. Can you share the name of the pattern for the first bag, please? :) :)

That pattern for the green daffodil bag with the big bow is called the Tohokyu Tote-I got the pattern off the internet and printed it off, but there is no place it says where I printed it from. It had two different bow treatments, I like the larger one like I used. I subscribe to so many on-line craft/quilting sites, I can't remember. I bet if you Google the name of the bag, it will come up. The other two, obviously are Bow Tucks. If you get it, let me know before you start-there was a few problems with the instructions I can correct for you.

Love them all...but the first one is my favorite.

SUZAG 01-29-2012 05:27 PM

I saw a Vera Wang bag with one of those big bows the other day in leather. I love that design...maybe if I make one, I could afford it! LOL

noahscats7 01-29-2012 05:57 PM

Boy! She sure did use some ugly material for her tute. Yours is so pretty!!

Yes, I sell them now. I didn't intend to, but after making some for gifts, I couldn't stop-so since a few people who saw the ones I made wanted to buy them (I have sold 6 just from people seeing them!), I decided I would set up a booth at a local weekend market here and see how they go. My goal is to just make "pocket money" so I can keep buying fabric! Being retired for about 8 months of the year, I have the time (but on a very limited budget!) to keep making them-and I ENJOY it so much! I will try the weekend market in a couple weeks and see how I go. I have to pay $25.00 for the morning, but I don't think that is too much. I sell them from $35.00-$45.00, depending on the style. Most are $40.00. Thanks!!

The first one, the top opening was smaller, but doing it a different way, the second came out a few inches wider. Both look nice, but I prefer the wider opening at the top.
