Yes, I jumped on the bandwagon. Here are some pics of my mini-bow tucks. All the fabric came from my stash - no new purchase here (except of course the pattern).
I didn't have any fusible pellon but I had some thicker stabilizer and Heat-n-Bond so I used that instead with only one layer between the outer bag and lining. Also, I didn't have a big button so I took left over ties and knotted it for a temporary fix.
I've made quite a few handbags and found this pattern not that difficult at all but I chose to do some steps out of order 'cause it just flowed more naturally that way for me. If you are more of a visual person (which I am), you might find the instructions a bit difficult to follow. But fun to make - my next one will be bigger!!

I loved the way you put the flower in the center of the pocket and I had to laugh when I saw the inside, you're the first one I've seen that showed one full of stuff - shows you can really pack a lot in there! Great job!

That's so pretty. I bought the pattern and am waiting to try it (because of lack of pictures...I have a hard time following instuctions). When I actually do try this, I hope it turns out like yours. :-D
