Bella (Margaret) Bag


I made this sweet little pleated bag yesterday. It's called the Margaret Bag by Clover and Violet. I bought the pattern as a PDF file from their pattern shop. I love the instant gratification of PDF patterns. Within the same day mama had a brand new bag. Uh...maybe that should be grandma had a brand new bag! It's small but I wanted something to sling over my shoulder for a quick trip to the store. I modified the strap to lengthen it a bit. The pattern was super easy to follow and fun to make. In fact, I liked this pattern so much that I have my eye on some other Clover and Violet patterns!!


Bella is such a pretty line of fabric. I love the "cuteness" of the birds along with the bold and abstract designs. 


I have another finish and a WIP to share this coming week. See you soon!
