I didn't take pictures of the process while making this since I wasn't really going by a pattern. I traced the shape of another purse to get the size for outer fabric, but I made it smaller with the pleating. This was my first time pleating and I was surprised it was so easy! I added interfacing to make it a little bit stronger. I traced the lining by the new shape and sewed a pocket into the lining before I sewed it together. I did not do a great job getting a straight line when seeing the lining in with the top of the purse as the satin polyester was not folding for me (even after ironing). The red satin and the lining are both from an old bridesmaid dress. Yay for recycling! I used the dress to make the straps as well, but I only had enough fabric for two short straps rather than one long one. This won't be an everyday purse but I got practice and a new use out of an old bridesmaid dress that was taking up closet space.
