My friend's birthday is tomorrow and I was going to just go to Bath & Body and buy her some smell good lotions and soaps. Then I decided that I would make her a purse, since she loves them. I went to Wal-Mart bought the iron on fleece (I didn't have a pattern so I bought the wrong weight) and found some cute fabric. On the way home I called my LQS and they had the pattern so I stopped by and picked that up. Then spent this afternoon and evening making it. I think it turned out cute. I still need to sew on the button and stitch the lining closed then I am done!

love the fabric great job

Nice colors, and good job on the bag.

Thanks. Her favorite color is orange there is a little bit of that color not a ton. I hope she likes pink as well :-). I would have made her an orange bag but I am making her a quilt for a wedding gift so I have decimated my orange fabric stash and they didn't have much of a selection at Wal-Mart... She'll probably love it because I made it for her right?

Oh, that is so cute. Your friend is going to love it!!!! Great job!

She's going to love it. You did a great job!

Your are right. She will love it because you made it for her. It is a beautiful bag anyway.

Very nice!

That bag is soo cute!I love the pink and orange colors together...

Bright, cheerful and happy. You do good work!

Its beautiful, and she will LOVE it!

Way to go!! Love it!!

So bright and cheery - love it.

Yep, you got that right. I find it doesn't matter what I make for someone, it is that I made something for them. I don't buy gifts for anything. I make everything and have since I was a child. Now everyone "Expects" a handmade gift. Even the grandsons. I think a gift from the heart is the best kind.

Your bag looks great! I have been wanting to make one of those for a while - I will have to get to it! I have some of that fabric in my stash too - my neice would love it!

This is wonderful. What a thoughtful gift. She will be pleased.

Great Bag, she is going to just love it! Pretty fabric.

Good job and very fun colors. Haven't tried one of these yet but with all the inspiration on here, I'm seriously considering it.

Great bag!! Surely your friend will appreciate your hand made gift!

Great use of colors. I like this bag!!

Very nice and pretty fabric too. Great job!

That is so cute. I love the fabric. Great job. She is going to love it. Thanks for sharing.

Love the fabric! Great job!

I bought my pattern at my LQS, I also saw it yesterday at Craft Warehouse. I know you can also purchase it online just do a google search for Bow Tuck Bag.

Hi Kristen Thanks for answering my question so quickly. I thought someone here had designed these bags, so never thought of looking it up in a pattern book.
I see you too live in Salem, I actually live in Keizer. Nice to know you are so close.
