A Double Pleated Wonder

A new bag was created last night. The design was one of my own..And I love it. This one makes me happy....I actually squealed and did a little dance when I realised it was finished. Doesn't it look professional? That's freaky.
The pattern was traced from a black and white mag. It is double pleated on both sides and now features a key clip, a mobile phone pocket and a pocket for your purse!! (I'm getting better at pockets!! - why oh why was I scared?)
I love the colours. Japanese fabric is SO luscious.
This bag is made (as you can see) with beautiful black patterned material and is lined with what looks like hand painted yellow fabric. Both materials are so joyous...I call this my Sun Bag. It's for those winter days when you are feeling a bit gloomy and need a bit of cheering up.
Anyway, here are some more pics. There are a few..lol

A wisteria bag.


I finished an incredible bag early this morning..
It's a self designed bag..but with a difference!!
This one I am REALLY proud of. In fact, I think it's the best one I have made yet by far.
I can't believe this sh*t is coming from me!!
lol
Anyway
It is (as you can see) made with a dark brown heavy cotton that has been beautifully printed with wisteria vines and flowers. I pleated it in the centre to give it a bit more space and matched the pattern in the centre almost exactly (don't ask me how that happened)
The inside is lined with a light blue.........

But wait for it guys...
Nestled inside, Featuring for the very first time.....A mobile phone pocket!!! and a hook for your keys so you don't have to dig!! (insert cheer here!!)
I love this bag and I'm feeling very accomplished.
Here are some photos.
