LOL. I couldn't stand all the Bow Tucks! SO many were SO cute, I just had to make one!! So, I did the cutting and much prep last night, and finished it today. Unfortunately, I have a neuromuscular disorder and I don't think I'm going to be able to CARRY it! It's so heavy!! But, I'll use it as long as I can! :o)

The other is my pin cushion, thread catcher. I actually made it a while ago but thought I'd add the picture since I'm here. :o)

Good Job on both. I Love making the BT purses:)

You did a great job for being new at sewing. Keep up the good work.

great job, thanks for sharing with us

Those are so cute. I need one of those pin cushion/thread catchers. What is weighing it down? It looks like a "must have" for me. Lol.

Ps....did you use piping to hold the opening open?

very nice - love the purse!

love the purse, i have made severl thread catchers aren't they fun to do?
Great job on both.

Love the Thread catcher and your bow tuck is beautiful. I love the fabrics

Love the Thread catcher and your bow tuck is beautiful. I love the fabrics

How about using plastic canvas or a piece of plastic for the bottom of your purse? I would think that the tile would add significant weight for you. Nice work, though.

Great job on both!

Both are so nice and pretty.

Both nice

Very pretty. Good job.

sew very nice

It's got crushed walnut shells in it. They aren't as heavy as sand, but are supposed to be 'better' for the pins. I don't know. lol As for the bag, I used clothesline (with the plastic on the outside), it really keeps it open nicely!!!!!

THANKS everyone for the kind words!! It really is nice to be able to 'show and tell' to people that 'get' what it takes to do things. :o)

Where would I get those? I could always get some of the foam poster board, but I was afraid it wouldn't be strong enough.

Both are so cute!

very Nice!

Ah well, I've put my bra straps on backwards already so I guess a pincushion isn't too bad.

you did a beautiful job on both :D:D:D

hahahaha!!

Great job on both.

they look really good to me. Thanks for sharing

Love that red bow tuck and the thread catcher is really neat. I haven't made either one yet and have been quilting for over a year..

:thumbup: :thumbup:

Beautiful. I have not make my bow tuck yet.

They look great!

I've never seen a bow tuck I didn't like! They are so fun!
Great job on your thread catcher...it certainly does not matter if the straps are on backwards. I bet it works wonderfully! :)

good job, love the purse

Looks great ,well done

Both are really nice.

Great job on both!!! Keep up the good work! And putting the straps on backwards.........some of us seasoned sewers and quilters still do things like that!!!!

I love all of your projects :)

I agree, I have only made one BTP but it was easy and fun!!! :lol: ;) :lol:
