Pretty-Pleats Bag

Some fall suiting material at my local fabric store inspired me to make a bag; and I was determined it should have some pleats!  I found an online free pattern that I really liked, and voila!!  Here are some pictures of my results, as well as a link to the pattern.  Three coordinating materials made it fun for me, and I used fusible fleece to line both the outer part and the lining to make a more firm bag, as well as adding a homemade fabric flower and button.  There is a small cosmetic/travel bag in the last couple of photos that I also made from my corduroy shower curtain and lined with extra plaid.  If anyone is interested in tutorials on any of the flower I used, just let me know and I'll add those links as well!  These were so much FUN!  And
