PDF Pattern - The Puffy Pleaty Purse

Thanks very much for your kind feedback about this pleated bag.  Here is the pattern for it (as requested by ooodles of you!)  I hope you dig it  :)

 

• The leather handle adds a 1950's touch of 'Grace Kelly' chic to the bag.
• The purse is easily large enough to store your essentials plus sunglasses & compact camera.
• Whilst the pleats and gathers add loads of volume, the purse is still neat & compact.
• Loads of helpful colourful photos and full sized pattern pieces to help make the making fun!

Finished size: 12in (W) x 8in (H) x 1 6/8in (D). (30 1/2cm x 20cm x 4cm).

How professional does this purse look!  The frame, the handle, the contrast band, the puffy pleats and funky-licious trim all combine to make this one knock-out bag!  Just perfect for weddings, holidays or a jaunty trip to town with the girls.   They really aren't going to believe you made this baby yourself!

She's neat and dainty, but no less practical, because she's roomy.  You'll get the usual wallet, keys phone and lipbalm in there, but with this purse you can also carry your compact camera, small bottle of water and sunglasses too!

 

Have fun chopping and changing your fabric and trims. Why not try satins, light velvets, denim, patchwork, feather boa, dangly trim, braid, crochet lace, ribbon...?
