This is the first time I used the grommets. The weren't hard, but a one did "slide" and I had to pop it off and resposition a couple of times. I wonder, if one could glue the fabric to the grommet to hold it in place while placing the other one on and pressing down. I hope they will last.

I'm sure open to comments/suggestions from experienced grommet users.

Many Thanks!! I've enjoyed my summer purse which is very similar to this one. However, it's now starting to look a tad out of season!! This just may be my next one.

Thanks, QuiltE, I wasn't sure how to do that, LOL! So nice we all have different talents.

Love it. I buy so many totes. Would be a good idea to make some. Thanks for sharing.

Very Pretty, and you did a great job.

So VERY cute!!!! Good job!

Sooo very cute! I bet you get a lot of people asking about your tote when using it.

I use my bow tucks and everytime I'm in a store someone always asks where I purchased it. It makes you feel so good!

Nice bag. The grommets are very popular now.

Did you find it worked out OK, as per the pattern instructions?

Any words of advice to those of us who might make one too?

Please? and Many Thanks!!
