Katfish, love the cats bowtuck! Too cute! I've only made one bag, not exactly bow tuck, and I want to put the magnetic snap on it. Have had a purse with this and works really well.

These are some nice bags - so why are they called bow tuck?
Where do you get the pattern and is it called bow tuck?

I have made them both ways (zipper and magnetic closure) - it depends on the user/recipient.

I bought the pattern after seeing the lovely purses done. Haven't used it yet.

(scroll about 2/3 the way down the page)

Most local quilt shops carry it. I've seen it in OH & AZ.

The way I fix the bottom is with the plastic canvas. Before I turn the bag, I whip stitch the canvas to the seams in the bottom. Then when I turn the purse it is under the lining and it never moves or falls out.
