Pleated Purses

In my previous post I mentioned that my first completed project was a small purse I made for myself. I found this  great free pattern and tutorial here, and this is what I came up with...


I love this purse! It is adorable and was so easy to make, so I decided to make some more as gifts. The only problem is that it is sorta small, and most of the people I would like to give one to seem to like big purses-so I decided to make my own pattern for a larger version of the same purse. Brittany Link's birthday was coming up, so I made this for her...


Overall I'd say it was a success, but maybe still a little on the small side...we'll see if I can come up with a better size for the next recipient-who will it be?

  1. I love them both! You did an excellent job! To come up with your own pattern is awesome as well. I'm sure Brittany will love it. Keep posting things as you complete your wonderful creations. I love seeing them.

  2. Jessiqa - I love the purses. The fabric is colorful and could be used any time you wanted. I like the pattern too. I'm sure it's washable which would be a good reason to have one as well. Keep up the good work and keep creating.
