Phew, finished!!!!!
Now it's time for a pattern giveaway!!!
Presenting “Pretty Pleats”!!!
Waddyathink??? I’m chuffed to bits with this sweet bag, I just LOVE the fabrics ~ Moda “Blush” in the pink one. Just too, too pretty!! There’s also a lovely aqua in the range … but I don’t have that one. I’ve also made it with handmade handles as opposed to the ‘bought’ ones above. This time in the more neutral Moda “Legacy” Collections for a Cause. Pretty little pleats …….. held together with sparkly pink beads.or earthy brown ones. You can make your own handles or buy some of these gorgeous braided handles ……It’s a generous sized bag – 13” tall, 15” wide with an oval base 8” x 11” – You can fit LOADS of stuff in there :o).
Both bags are on the one pattern and I’m going to give away 3 of these patterns, printed or PDF, whichever format you prefer ~ just leave a comment on this post and I’ll pick 3 winners on Sunday 21st February. I’m sure I’ll find some extra yummy bits and pieces to pop in with your prize too ;o). No extra jobs for extra entries … just one entry per comment. Easy Peasy :o).

I love the bags. I think my fabourite is the pink and brown with the pink braided handles but it is so hard to choose as they are all so gorgeous. I am a bit of a bag queen myself - are you? Yvonne
