Yet another bag from the Style Stitches book, The Perfectly Pleated Clutch, in size medium. The exterior is Kaffe Fassett "Spray". I added a large flower bought at H&M.
I used heavyweight fusible interfacing for the pleated panels and am pleased with the result. It definately keeps its shape, even if empty and standing up.
The pattern says to use 1 7/8 yards, but one yard is enough if you sew two pieces of fabric together for each side of the bag. The seam won't show since you will hide it under the pleats.
The pleating part wasn't that bad. I just made sure to pin each pleat on the top and bottom to keep in in place.
The band is a little bit longer than in the pattern.
Inside fabric from Kathy Miller "Dots and Stripes"
Used an old zipper from my stash.
