ruffled bag

At my baby shower last year, my wonderful friends gave me a beautiful ruffled bag (that they made!!) full of goodies for me to take to the hospital.  I've used it so much since then - as a purse, a beach bag, a diaper bag....basically it's perfect for anything.  My lovely sister-in-law saw it when we were in St. Lucia and asked if I could make something like it for her.  She wanted several ruffles all across the front in bright colors.  Here is what I came up with.

It was really fun to make and now my mind is swimming with other ways I can decorate these adorable canvas bags.
