I've had this pattern for awhile and decided to do one after doing the Bow Tucks. The pattern is very much like the Bow Tucks, even down to how the pockets are done.

The black part is a complete bag in itself, just plain black, and the colored bottom is a cover, or sleeve, that goes over the bag and elastic loops go over the buttons to hold it on.

This cover is reversible. One side of the reversible cover can be done from a fat quarter... a world of possibilities for different looks for the bag from my FQ stash. :)

The pattern...

Great project!

I love your bag!!

Cute bags!!

Could make one solid colored bag for the women/girls you would make a bag for, whatever their favorite color is, then for any occasion or holiday, you could make a new cover for their bag.

LOVE IT!

what a great idea! your's turned out so pretty!

How cute is this. Is this a Simplicity pattern or just the name of the bag?

Those are really pretty!

Beautiful fabric choices!

very pretty....thanks for sharing... :thumbup:

that is super cute...my mother would love that.

Great pattern - kind of like the expensive leather ones they sell on QVC.

Thanks for sharing, I just got this pattern and was wondering how it was going to look!!

Pam!!
I love this bag. How very cute that it reverses. The colors and buttons are adorable.

Very cute

Cutsie bag. Would work super for holiday fabric. Make one side Halloween, other side Fall themed. Mmmmmmm, think I better find this pattern. ;-)

CUTE!!!!

Oh, I love the red and block one. I'm going to have to get this pattern and make myself one. Thanks for sharing.

They are really cute bags! You did a great job.

Love your fabric selection, great looking purse. Thanks for sharing.

Great looking bag.

That's pretty cool. A new bag every week, I like that.

What a great idea! And you can change the look without having to empty out the contents - great for someone like me, I'm sure there are things living in the bottom of MY bag that are best not disturbed! LOL

I've had the same pattern for awhile too. Is it easier than it looks?

I thought it was cool. Might not want to make a whole bag to match something specifically but, a cover is pretty quick to do.

The elastic loops were tricky to try and baste down by machine. The needle would hit it and the loop would get stuck on the needle. I resorted to using a dab of permanent fabric glue that I used in making a metal frame purse. Since the loops are inside when the cover and it's lining are being sewn. I pulled them straight down and pinned them so they wouldn't be pushed all over by the needle and I couldn't see if they were straight.

well done.

It's exactly like the Bow Tucks in how it goes together. I do mean exactly. The pattern is an actual pattern instead of just instructions but, I used a quilting ruler and measured the pieces. No need to pin and cut the tissue.

If you've done a Bow Tucks, then you know how to do this one.

very pretty...thanks for sharing

Love this :-D Going to pick up this pattern. Your bags are wonderful :thumbup: :thumbup:

Liked it so much I just got the pattern off ebay. Great job.

Very nice! What a crafty idea!

I to made one of these bags and sold it for Easter. It was a yellow with blue and white cover. The lady just loved it. It is a very easy bag and I intend to make a lot more for this easter.

Very nice.

Great bag.
