My first and it won't be my last! It was so much fun I'm ready to make my second one! I thought I needed something to carry my purchases in at the expo I attended in March. It worked out real well and all the pockets were wonderful!

At first I was going to quilt the fabric but I realized I was under a time crunch and I didn't think I could finish in time. Instead, I added a few more buttons. For the closure I stacked two buttons together and added a few across the front pocket and beads to the side ties. I also put a magnetic snap on the inside (I'm so glad I did) which was a nice addition.
I have to say - I'm hooked . . .

It's beautiful. How long did it take to make?

After I got started it only took about four hours. But it was a fun four hours. I think it took longer deciding what to finish the front with!! The wonderful ladies at my LQS were trying all different buttons on the front for me! It was fun.

and Thank you for the compliment!

Beautiful! Great job!

i love the style of this purse. Is there a pattern I can purchase ? My daughter and I love that Lady's bags that start with a V. We could personalize them !

You did a really nice job!

Way cute. Show us the next ones.

Beautiful Bag :D:D:D

love the fabrics

I purchased it at my LQS and it's by Quilts illustrated. Designed by Penny Sturges. #ps008 Bow Tucks tote. There's two patterns and this is the larger one. Several stores carry the pattern online as well.

Lovely bags. DGD and I tried to make a bag this week. Did not come out bad but not as good as I would have liked. We used red (already quilted) for main color and she chose black background, red roses and white skulls for handle, lining and outside pocket. We will try another to see if we can make some that look as nice as yours do. GOOD JOB!!

Love it!! :thumbup:

Great job!!!

really pretty!

That is very pretty. What a great job. I know you will enjoy it.

Please post a picture so we all can enjoy!!

Oh the pockets inside. It is beautiful and it will be handy

So pretty. Love your fabrics. I've lost count how many that I've made. I think I've got 10 or 11 sitting on my guest bed right now...ha. I'm making a bunch for a craft show that will be in Nov. I just love making them.

Your fabrric is so neat. Nice colors, too.
I need to make another one. So little time with school. Oh well.

Love it

Very nice and so is the TREADLE in the pic!!!!!!!! lol- I always spot machines and pets in pics :D:D

Thank you! Good eyes Susan I've taken a break from it. I'm putting on a new belt and will be able to use it soon. I just moved it to that wall since I'm changing sewing spaces. I really like my treadle - It's a beautiful machine.

oooh!! pretty fabric and love the buttons!

Love the bow tucks.
Love your baby.
Mine passed away last summer.

Sorry, tried to post a picture of my mastiff. Doesn't just show up, takes forever to download.

I'm so sorry you lost your baby. But I did check out the pic. He was gorgeous.

Beautiful bow tucks bag. I love making those

Sorry to hear about your loss. They are the best dogs. Yours was a good looking dog. Love the dog muzzle (spelling ?). Gennuiness is about four and weighs in at 220. He is such a loveable giant with the best personality.

Very pretty, I love your fabric.

Excellent work and way great fabric selection. You just might be making a convert out of me.

Love it...Really like the fabric choice!!! :thumbup:

Beautiful Cindy!
I love the idea of the magnet too.

Thank you 2 Doods-it really saved me when I filling the bag.

Thank you to all of you for all the kind words.

Beautiful fabric you selected for your bag. Very nice.

Pretty job. I'm thinking "beachy"

Great job! Love the fabric :-)
