Love your blog and love the pleated bag. I’ve just started making my own patterns, with my husband’s help, and am having a blast making aprons, sewing for my new granddaughter (bibs, burp cloths, sun dresses for next summer, bumper bads, dust ruffle for the crib), and trying my hand at creativity. I never thought I’d make a pattern but it is so much fun!

I love a lot of the stuff on ModCloth. I’ve bought a few items from them in the past and it’s been great stuff. I truly adore the scarf though. The peacock is just so cute!
