    I thought it was cool. Might not want to make a whole bag to match something specifically but, a cover is pretty quick to do.

    The elastic loops were tricky to try and baste down by machine. The needle would hit it and the loop would get stuck on the needle. I resorted to using a dab of permanent fabric glue that I used in making a metal frame purse. Since the loops are inside when the cover and it's lining are being sewn. I pulled them straight down and pinned them so they wouldn't be pushed all over by the needle and I couldn't see if they were straight.

    It's exactly like the Bow Tucks in how it goes together. I do mean exactly. The pattern is an actual pattern instead of just instructions but, I used a quilting ruler and measured the pieces. No need to pin and cut the tissue.

    If you've done a Bow Tucks, then you know how to do this one.

    I to made one of these bags and sold it for Easter. It was a yellow with blue and white cover. The lady just loved it. It is a very easy bag and I intend to make a lot more for this easter.
