a gift for my friend holly who is getting married next weekend!
My built by wendy dress making experience has helped me over come my fear of pleats.
I made up a pattern for this as I went along. The outside fabric is amy butler, the lining is vintage cotton.
Fabric covered buttons are fun!
That bag is lovely - the colours work so well.
