My Not-So-Perfectly Pleated Clutch

I had been dreading making the May bag from Amy Butler's Style Stitches since I started this challenge.  I had been quite scared of making the pleats.  Well, it's done.  Not quite as perfect, but good enough, in my opinion!  The pleats are not straight in certain spots, but I'm not terribly disappointed.



The fabric was a cotton voile that I bought at Fat Quarter Shop.  The flower was from Ann Taylor Loft.  It's probably a little bit for the bag, but I still like it.  My only regret is making the small bag instead of the medium size.  I think the flower is a slight bit big for the small size.

I've been doing lots of other crafts lately, but haven't been taking many pictures...  I'll catch up one of these days!

    I just love this bag. Looking at it makes me feel happy. And I love the ginormous flower! It totally makes the clutch look like something one would take to a hoity-toity garden party. :)

    I really like the fabrics you chose! Very springy - it reminds me of rainbow sherbert. :)

    Thanks for linking up to the Sew Along!
