Tote and Tutorial

February 28, 2008
penelopepleatedpurse1sm.jpg I made this purse a while ago, and it's taken me a ridiculously long time to post it. I was doing my regular free fabric collecting when I came across these samples that were just too good to pass up! I was just shocked at how close the colors were, and how well the different textures go together. So, I made a tote from it! I was wanting to do something a little different from the pleated purse pattern which I made not too long ago. So, I made it a little smaller, and added a different kind of pleat in the design. It was surprisingly easy to make it, I think I'll be doing it again in leather. I've got some good leather that I think would look nice. I scanned the pattern in, and made a printer friendly pattern that you can download here or click the button below. download-button-1
