I'm terrible with reducing, so don't want to try to reduce the full-size pattern. Is is OK to just "guess"?

If you have the original pattern and access to a copy machine you can reduce the patern automatically by using the reduction feature. I've used this method for both reducing and enlarging and it works great.

Lovely projects. I'm a sucker for purses, and the fabric in your bow tuck is wonderful. I have been on the fence about buying the pattern since I have so many purse patterns already, but you convinced me I should get one for myself.
