Pleated Pouch to go with the Sophia Carry-All

 The day before I was to take the Sophia Carry-All to work, I came across this Pleated Pouch Tutorial over at Skip to My Lou.  It looked easy enough, but I wasn't sure if I could complete it and the bag in one evening.  My friend Jamie convinced me to go for it, so I did. 

This pouch does not disappoint and is a very fast project.  My friend suggested that the pouch would make a cute wristlet.  I added a little of my own interpretation in the form of a split ring because I wanted to be able to clip it inside the bag.

What can I say?  I love it.

I plan to make several of these pouches to keep on hand for gifts (after I make several for myself, of course).

Of all of the gifts I made this season, I have to say this combo was my favorite.  I can't wait to make this for myself!!
