    I have made many of them for others, but I do not use a big purse these days. I have down sized to something to put my credit cards in and check book only in.

    As a newbie, I had to go look up "Bow Tucks" bag...but what I found was that while I wouldn't use this kind of "purse," and that I'm also not necessarily into certain "crafty" aspects of quilting, I have found that my favorite new grocery bag was not one of the flimsy ones, but one where the store created a thicker 'quilted' variety. Now that I have that one, I just saw a recent "Go Green" pattern at e-patterns, and bought that one...and KQ has a nifty tote.

    I thought the only thing I might ever create was quilts. There are different types of 'quilting' that I am not fond of, but now that I'm getting more exposed to "the world of quilting," I can see that maybe there ARE crafty items that I might like, and things that I thought I didn't like I am pleasantly surprised that I do!

    Thanks for the bump; newbie eyes opened!

    I made one to expressly match the dress I wore to my daughter's "in the park" wedding. It was a nice summer purse and not hard to make. I still use it in the summer. The variey of fabrics and ease of assembly are most likely the "draw" for this style of pocketbook.

    Man's wallet in jeans pocket. I hate carrying anything. But some of the sites for those purses also led to nice carrier bags for tablets. I have Acers, and Ipad tablet covers don't work.

    [QUOTE=Jim's Gem;1896403]Good question???? I'm not a "purse" person. If I can throw my licence and stuff in my pocket, I am a happy camper. I have one purse, for every occasion.[/QUOTE

    This is me exactly!!
