PLEATNESS BAGS! now enriched with tutorial goodness! pg 10

[applesaregreen]

probably the most complex type of bag I have ever made, but it was totally worth it and i really love how they keep turning out. I have a whole bunch in my closet, but here are a few of my favorites. I made them with really sturdy cotton, so they are all pretty stiff without the use of interfacing and they all have completely closed and zippered tops. I use my own and I have used it for almost a year and it's surprisingly still really sturdy. I love it! So I present to you my pleatness bags filled with oh so much pleatness goodness.

polkadotted pleatness


rescue team pleatness


pretty pleatness


argyled pleatness


paisley pleatness


pirate pleatness


so I hope you like them all. They were really complex to pattern and make, but i think they all came out really well. I'm currently working on more to depleat my fabric stock (I have way too much fabric).

I made more (ok so the last 2 aren't exactly pleated, but it was the same pattern, so I figured what the heck)





They're cameras!
