FREE bag purse pattern - 'For Pleat's Sake' Tote

Hello!  I hope you all had a wunnerful weekend.  I had an incredible weekend (more about it in my next post) and then I got knocked over sideways by food poisoning.  Hey ho.

Here it finally is, the pleaty bag tute that I promised you just before we moved house (wow did that all really happen?  It seems like an age ago!)  See me modeling this bag here.

 

**NB: the pattern is a simple landscape rectangle - measurements are in the tutorial**

Ohh boy!  Even Amy Butler saw fit to have a 'Pleats Sake' Tote made in her Luscious Cameo fabrics. It looks divine! Le Swooon! 

 

Please pop your U-Handbag tute/kit/pattern bags in here - I love checking 'em out :)

Dya like my birdy hook?  Exterior fabric is this cute robot linen and the handles are these red leather elbow/shoulder length straps.

 

Side view. Jaunty fresh & preppy.  Best of all no one will have one like yours :)

 

The pleats look great and they add heaps of volume to the bag (so you can add heaps o' shoppin').

 

 

To see pics of another Pleats Sake Tote that I made, look here.

I do hope you enjoy the tute folks!
