I recently found the website of Lisa Lam, a bagmaker in England. She's very generous with her tips, patterns and bag selling expertise. She also sells bag making bits and pieces and prices well below what I can buy them for in New Zealand. Even allowing for the exchange rate that is close to doubling the price, and post, it still makes sense for me to buy on the internet.
Check out her site here. Today I made my version of her 'For Pleat's Sake' tote. The pleating was a bit fiddly but worth the effort. If others like it I'd consider adding it to my list of 'make again'.
Each side is a different floral linen. The lining is a polka dot rayon and the handles are brown wool fabric.
Beautiful!!
