    First of all right now I am unable to take a picture. I am making another bow tucks. I am not sure what color of thread to use. The bottom is black, top half is a batik of mostly brown with some black and yellowish gold in it. And the lining is a yellowish color. I want to use a yellow or gold thread on the lining and was thinking of using a brown on the out side. But I am not sure if it would look good with the brown on the black part of the bag. What do you think. I hope to get the picture posted tomorrow.

    Maybe use black thread on the bottom black then use brown on the top.

    I like colored thread on black. Can you do a small sample with all your fabrics and the thread?
