Someone said that one reading this board would have their finger on what's popular- not bad if you go to craft fairs to make extra money. You could make a ton of them and sell them off. You wouldn't have to like them personally if you know they sell well.

I have however, made mine a little more secure at the top, placing the loop on the front crowwing a loop in the back so I could thread it through and button to the front again. And use a big button,. You can also put a few snap buttons across, this is real cute! Really, in a nutshell, We all have different tastes and creativity's. How fun is that?!

But wouldnt it be a very boring world if we all liked the same thing and we all made exactly the same item?

I don't see what the attraction is about the bow tuck bags either.
I'm a jeans and tee shirt kinda girl, I don't dress fancy either. I have 1 purse and that suits me fine. They're pretty, but not my style.

I don't mean to offend, either, but I don't see the attraction either. I do anjoy seeing what fabrics people put together, though.
On the other hand, the X-bag has worked out so well for me, I think I've made 5 of them over the last couple of years. I made them seasonal. I've worn two of them out.
This board could almost use a section devoted to bags!

Can you add a zipper to a BT purse? Just curious....I even have a zipper on the tote bag I use most.
