Pleated Purses

 

 

I have been making lots of purses lately. 

I made a pile of these pleated fabric and suede purses

while I was on holiday at the beach.

I added a suede and fabric strap to carry them with.

The Dr's aunt gifted me a bag of colourful zippers and

I used fabric and suede from my stash, and lined them all with

thrifted vintage sheet fabric.

 

 

I've been using one as a little clutch purse when going out.

 

 

The others are gifts.

They are a nice way to use some of the fabrics I love and also to use suede,

which I'm really enjoying working with in my latest projects.

 

 

They are reasonable quick to make and I obviously got a little carried away.

I used a patten from this book, with a few tweaks of my own.

 

 

See here and here for some other purses I've made.
