I made one bow tucks bag, showed it to my sister, who wanted one (this one is hers but it has been modified bigger than the pattern) and then she spread the word that I was making these cute bags and now everybody wants one, sight unseen, price unknown. My sister in law what's seven! My cousin was taking orders from her co-workers! Hey, wait a minute.... this was supposed to be fun... not stressful!!

For my sister

I have that pattern, I haven't started it yet. The pattern called for fusible fleece, all they had was the heavy duty, I wondered if this would work just as good?

I love the colors in this purse.

I think it be fine as long as it can still bend and move easily. Also, you can use regular cotton batting (low loft) just baste around the edges of the parts before you put them together.

Beautiful bag. All you ladies keep making these adorable bags and I can't seem to get time in spite of everthing I do. I am too cheap to pay someone to make me one...guess that is not true...just have other priorites right now.

One of these days I will post my own here. All these gorgeous fabric combinations are almost overwhelming! Don't know how I could decide on the fabrics. They are all so beautiful.

That's a really cool bag. I can completely understand the interest :) Looks like you'll be in business in no time at all :)

I'd love to hear a solution to this too...zippers scare me! LOL But my daughter-in-law would love one w/a zipper.

To make quicker work of it, do what you can assembly line style. That's what I did. I did all the cutting, then all the fusing, then whatever quilting with the same color thread I could, assembled all the handles and loops. Then I went back and assembled the body of the bags. It seemed to go quicker that way. I sold a few of the Mini Bow Tucks bags for $40 each. I think I could have gotten more though. Good luck!

love the colors... and I totally agree with the assembly line idea - that is exactly what I do - and it works!!! It does go much quicker
