Pleated Tote Doll Tote Bag No. 3 for 18" and 20" dolls.
You will get best results if you use quilting cotton but it is possible to make the bags in most fabrics. Even vinyl and leather could be used. I love how great this bag looks with the matching dress. This dress is from 1877 Pieced A-line Dress

The little pleats in the bag body give it a really stylish look without having to go to too much trouble. You could even make it simpler by just gathering the body to fit the top band. This is a good sized tote, just a bit bigger than totes 5 and 6. You could use any of the tote handle styles instead of the ribbon but gross grain ribbon looks great is is easy to use.

Supplies Needed:
