I've just completed my first order for a Pleated Beauty Bag.
My friend who gave me her sewing machine asked for one, so I won't be charging her obviously, but it's nice when somebody asks you to make something for them.
The fabric I intended using for the pleats I wasn't happy with, so I cut up a pair of brown cords to use instead - not wanting to let anything go to waste I used the back pockets off the cords as inside pockets on the bag. I even used a proper magnetic bag clasp on this one too.
Lets just hope she likes it.
