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!
Coming next: Sneaky Peek inside my book (The Bag Making Bible). I'll post some pics on the blog, but I'll post even more in my Facebook (just because it's soooo much faster than uploading to the blog). So please join my FB if you wanna see more - I thaangg you!
