There are many ways to express yourself including making bags. It is another way to show your sewing talents. Bow tuck bags are easy to make,have many side pockets inside for organization, making them like the highly expensive Vera Bradley bags. Yes there are many bag patterns out there bow tuck bags is just another one. I love to make quilts and also make a wide variety of bags, it's something else to do when a big project is not what in the works. I am making 7 different bags right now that people are paying me for just in time for Christmas.

I first heard about them here on the board and saw some posted pics. They look nice and I've read how handy they are as totes for class items. I can understand why people that like to have a bag or purse co-ordinate with their outfits would like them since they are easy to make, and look nice.
But I have so many tote bags some free that I use those and I generally don't switch my purse day to day, and I really want one that has a zipper closure for at least where I have wallet etc. for security. So I'm not sure I'll ever make one either but they are nice for those that do want them.

Me again...just a side note. Seems the older I get the bigger purse I need. My DH picked up my biggest purse (it just happened to be a Vera Bradley I got new on e-bay for $5.00) and after muttering something about a hernis asked if I had a complete change of clothes in it. Well, not exactly but way in the bottom I do have a zip lock baggie with a pair of footies, a change of undies, a travel size packet of baby wipes and a couple of panty liners! Then there's the eyeglass case and cleaner, the zip lock bag with tea bags and sugar packets, a calculator, hand lotion, blah, blah, blah...So little purse are not on my list.

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