Well I have to admit, I use to purchase only Coach and Dooney and Bourke, however.... I sold off most of them, I have fallen in love with the bowtucks!! I like the feel, the pockets and most of all the room and how easy everything is to get to when needed. With my Coach bags, they were bottomless pits with a small interior pocket and nothing else. The Dooney's sure had those hand dandy cell phone pockets that the cell phone did not like to hang out in and would jump ship whenever possible. Now I have a new bag for every month, some I have made, some I have purchased and Holiday ones, I am currently working on a Halloween one!

Frequently Asked Questions
Making bags for resale?
Can I make your tote bags for resale?
Yes, as long as you are making them by hand on your home sewing machine and the bags are not mass-produced. We also request design credit when selling the bags. This can be a simple as a card included with the bag that says "Designed by Quiltsillustrated"
A board member posted this for me and I do make them on my home sewing machine & I will plan on putting a card in the pocket that states the above. I'm thankful to jaciqltznok for letting me know this.

I tell those who ask about them, that I'm using high-quality all cotton fabric, and that it takes me 6 to 8 hours to make one.......and that does not count the time I spend shopping for fabrics that coordinate and look nice together.
I also offer the option of a custom made bag.......I take the customer with me to shop for the fabrics....
And they must pay 1/2 of the price up front.
I have calculated the cost to me and it is easily $35 to $40 per bag.

I bought a bag pattern and email the maker and asked if I could make the bags and sell them and she said yes,,,so I dont think selling the bags are wrong just making copies of patterns and selling is what they dont like at least most of them..
