My daughter and I made a 'Grids & Grommets" bag for my granddaughter. pattern by Indygo Junction, Inc. Line green with white polka dots and then white with lime green dots for the lining. Made four the following year but did not use the grommets and they tended to pull out although is is a very cute bag so our next ones were more like a bowtuck bag. love them, use them, all who see them love them.

So many pretty bow-tucks shown. I have made over 10 and use 4 of them for myself. I use the snap to close mine. I use plastic canvas for the bottom, fitting it between the bottom and lining. I put a few stitches into the canvas at the purse seam to secure it. Wash it in the washing machine and spray starch it while wet and let air dry. I have had no problem. I notice several others also divide the front pocket with stitching in the center. I found that my cellphone fits and stays better doing it that way. Sometimes I shorten the size of the front pocket, making it a bit more user frienly.
Patti, your bags are outstanding. Love them.

Well, it looked fine on the top but when I turned it over the elastic had pulled through the fabric and the thread is all messed up. So then I tried just making it with batting inside. The fabric started getting pushed up so I used my walking foot. It made teeny tiny stitches so I quit. People on here whip them out one after another and I can't even get one made!

Katfish, your third bag, you made longer handles? I was thinking about doubling the length of the handles for mine too!
