Customer News – Fabulous Handmade Handbag
I received a lovely email from Sarah (Hunting For Ladybugs on Etsy), who has followed my Amelia Pleated Handbag sewing pattern to make the most delightful handbag. I’m very pleased to be able to share it here with you, by kind permission from Sarah.
I think the use of denim for the top bands and handle looks amazing, next to the gorgeous main body fabric. Bright, vibrant fabrics are a top favourite of mine. What a quality piece of work! As you can tell, I just love it!
”Just thought I’d send you a photo of your Amelia pleated bag pattern that I finally got around to making this morning. I used denim for around the bands and I didn’t have any of the strap hardware so I just left it out. I’m pleased with how I turned out. Thanks again.” Sarah

Wow! That’s so colorful and springy! I LOVE it!
Isn’t it just, it’s so nice to see what someone has made from one of my patterns.
Inspires me to get going with your Heather Hobo bag pattern too!
That’s great, you must let me know how you get on. Did you get your new sewing machine? Mine just died on me, so back to the trusty old one until ‘new’ one gets fixed!!
Awww – thanks Susie. I’ve made a few more for local market stall coming up in March. The pattern has come up really well yet again. I’ve modified it so that I don’t pleat the lining (mainly to save on fabric and fiddle) and it doesn’t seem to make much difference to the overall look. Thanks again for your thinking behind a great pattern!

You’re very welcome, pleased you’re getting on so well with it and good luck for the markets. That’s a great idea to modify the lining, I’m actually going to add an option to the pattern to allow for that as not everyone will want to pleat the inside too. Good to get the feedback on it.
Beautiful Print for a bag. Mtetar
It’s a lovely choice of fabric, isn’t it? I love Sarah’s choice of fabric too, just the kind of beautiful vibrant fabric that inspires me.
I agree beautiful prints makes me want to start a project. Mtetar
Beautiful Bag! I just ordered the pattern and can’t wait to make it!
Hi, I’m so pleased you were inspired and hope you enjoy making this bag too. Would love to hear how you get on.
