The Boy Trifecta: The Grandview Bag Tutorial Part 2 - el fin. I know on Wednesday I said I'd have this up "tomorrow", but it's still technically Thursday SOME places, right? That counts. Ok, so when we left off, we had finished the first pleat and first ruffle. Lets keep going. Grab your next strip. While lifting the ruffle away from the bag, pin your strip at the top left edge of the main body piece, and begin pleating. Continue this pleating until you reach the other side of the bag.You want to pin your pleats so the finished edge will be hidden by the ruffle just above it.

You can pin these pleats directly to the body of the bag, as we are going to sew them down from the top, rather than from underneath like the previous pleat. TIP: Stitch in the direction that your pleats are pointing so that your presser foot is flattening the pleats rather than lifting them. Now, stitch down the bottom of the pleat. Now your bag should look something like this: Ok, we're almost done with the embellishment! YAY! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Happy bag-making!
