Pleated bucket bags

Almost didn't make this weeks handmade Monday. A manic week at work and then visitors over the weekend has made the time fly by with barely a glance at the sewing machine.

I started making these pleated bucket bags a few weeks ago...
...and finally got around to finishing them and taking some photographs.


One of them has already been sold from my Facebook page, along with a request for a matching metal frame purse. Looks like it's going to be a busy time with the glue next weekend!

    Sounds like a busy week. Love the bags, the spotty linings go so well with the pretty fabrics and they have a lovely spring feel, don't they?

    Have a great week,

    Your work is stunning as usual Helen. Like the look of the fabric you used for the top band and the handles. It looks very touchy feely to me, lovely :)

    I think I've said it before but- your bags just always look so beautifully well made, and you have a real eye for fabric combinations.

    As always I love your choice of fabrics. The pockets on the sides are a really nice touch. Seem to be a good choice for you - busy is good? Hope your week goes well.
