I SAW A LOVELY BAG IN A MAGAZINE AND MADE MY OWN VERSION. I RECYCLED A DRESS I PURCHASED FOR £2 IN A CHARITY SHOP. I MADE THE BAG FIRST AND THEN HAND SEWED THE PLEATED FLOWERS ON THE FRONT. I HAVE ADDED A PICTURE OF THE DRESS I MADE THE BAG TO MATCH. IT WAS EASY TO MAKE AND I AM PLEASED WITH THE RESULT.
SILVER DRESS, PINK FABRIC FOR LINING, THREAD, IRON FOR PRESSING THE PLEATS.

That’s a great idea, looks vintage, especially with that dress.

Love the pleated flowers! There are so many places that those could be implemented. They could look great on a jacket or even dress up a tshirt. DId you use a tutorial to make these?
