Ruffles, oh no, not for me. I am not in ruffles at all.
But it is very hard to resist madame Samm´s challenges, and after thinking one hour or two, LOL, I jumped right in the adventure with ruffles. Several years ago I have made a lime green purse with ruffles, which I have used a lot when it was new. I have bought the pattern, when I was at a quilt retreat in Lousiana 2006 and found the pattern right away.
The purse/bag is named The Trixie bag and it is still on the market. You will find it here.
Först av allt vill jag säga, att jag är verkligen inte så förtjust i volanger, men när Madame Samm kommer med sina utmaningar har jag väldigt svårt att låta bli att tänja på kreativiteten.
Så efter några dagars funderingar, kom jag på att jag för några år sedan sydde en väldigt trevlig volangväska och en sådan skulle passa väldigt väl in i utmaningen. Beskrivningen finns fortfarande till försäljning här.
I wanted to make the purse more firm and with other kind of handles and also to put in a zipper closure. I have used purple linen for the body of the purse and pink linen for the lining. And as ruffles are very hungry for fabric a lot of different Kaffe Fasset fabric for the ruffles.
Väskan har jag sytt av lila linne med cerise linnefoder och även satt i ett blixtlås för att stänga den.
Det går åt mycket tyg till volangerna, så det tog ett litet hack i mitt Kaffe Fasset förråd.

The purse was very fun to make and could be a real conversations piece.
Jag tog lite utomhusbilder och visst märks det att våren är på väg. Väskan är väldigt mycket volanger, men jättesöt och verkligen ovanlig i sin design. Den var dessutom mycket rolig att sy.
Warm thanks to cheering lady Amy at Sew Incredibly Crazy and lovely Madame Samm for this fun blog hop and I will follow the ruffles each day with excitement and will be delighted of all the creativity.
Glöm nu inte att kolla in de andra damernas volanger, där finns säkert mycket inspirerande att se.
Now hop over to the other participating ladies of the day and enjoy their ruffles.
Hill Valley Quilter (that´s me)
Have a great day blog hopping and all the rest of the days with ruffles.

What a beautiful Bag. I am not into ruffles, but they re just gorgeous on you your bag and the rose is a perfect accent.
SvaraRaderaI made a ruffled flower on a bag also for my project!
SvaraRaderaThis ruffled bag in purples and pinks is sew very fun! I love the rose accent too. Fantastic Ruffles!!! Thank you sew very much for Hopping...
SvaraRaderaUtrolig fin veske! Jeg likte blomsten veldig mye.
SvaraRaderaIt is just darling!! You were right, great minds do think alike! Love the color selection and the rose is just a perfect accent.
SvaraRaderaSo pretty with all those ruffles and bright and cheery.
SvaraRaderaWOW, your bag is fantastic and the colors are beautiful! Love the flower, very creative. Thank you for sharing.
SvaraRaderaI am not a big ruffle fan either, but I know how addictive Mdm Samm's hops are, LOL
SvaraRaderaYou chose the perfect fabrics for your ruffle-bags, I love it, and the flower as well! Are you going to use the bag for yourself now?
Thanks for your post,I smiled....
Your purse is sooo cute!
SvaraRaderaUnderbart söt väska, stod ditt namn på direkt:O)) Kram
SvaraRaderaMan kan inte annat än njuta och bli glad när man ser din underbara väska.
SvaraRaderaJag tycker volanger är fint emellanåt och här perfekt.Så läckra tyger du valt.
Kram Gudrun
Vilken häftig volangväska, kanske får se den idag i Förslöv! Kram
SvaraRaderaOh, it's beautiful!! I love the ruffles and the colors... great job :)
SvaraRaderaThat is a beautiful bag. Kaffe Fassett makes great ruffles. I think you are really a ruffle person in disguise.
SvaraRaderaWhat a lovely bag. Does it have lots of weight due to the use of so much fabric used to make the ruffles? I love bags with a good weight to them. Love the solid linen fabric you used! And your rose is magnifique, no doubt there! Beautiful project!
SvaraRaderaLove the colors, love the bag.. beautiful!!
SvaraRaderaHi, Brit-Inger. What a fabulous, wonderful use of those KF fabrics! A riot of colour, for sure. I have a stack of those bold prints and now you've given me an idea of how to use them rather than in a quilt (I have too many of those!). Thanks for sharing today. I'm really jealous that you are having Spring already in Sweden. We just had a big snow storm this week. We all are yearning for Spring here in Washington, DC!
SvaraRaderaWhat a pretty bag. Love the colors you choose.
SvaraRaderaYour bag is awesome! The colors are fabulous!
SvaraRaderaVery sweet purse :-)
SvaraRaderaAnd it's ruffles, no doubt!!
Well done.
Now that is a great way to cheer us out of the winter blues...a bright, fun, ruffly bag!
SvaraRaderaoh my word, for someone who does not like ruffles, you poured so much sweetness in this bag to make you simply a ruffled bag maker and have us all smiling in ruffled delight….
SvaraRaderaI am "ruffley", either. I like the rose and the recessed zipper on your new purse. It really is a cute bag!
SvaraRaderaNice and bright! Great for spring!
SvaraRaderaWell you would never know you were not a ruffle person! What a fantastic purse..love it!
SvaraRaderaYOu did a great job on your bag!
SvaraRaderaHi Britt-Inger ! By making this adorable bag, perhaps you've discovered your a ruffly kind of girl after all ! Very cute! LOVE the use of KF fabric !
SvaraRaderaGorgeous! I love the color combination!
SvaraRaderaI love it The colors are beautiful
SvaraRaderaFabulous!
SvaraRaderaI love the colours you used!
A fun ruffle-y kind of purse. The rose is the perfect accent. I like the zipper closure too.
SvaraRaderaThat is just too cute. I love the bright colors. Best yet it zips closed. Great feature.
SvaraRaderaOh, wow! That is a beautiful ruffled bag and your rose is gorgeous!
SvaraRaderaAlthough I am not 'into' ruffles so much myself... I love the bag... but maybe it's the fabric colours - gorgeous!!
SvaraRaderaNow those are bright colours, love it
SvaraRaderaBeautiful and bright! Very well made. The flower is the perfect touch. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
SvaraRaderaBeautiful purse! I love the fabrics and all of those wonderful ruffles.
SvaraRaderaBritt for someone not into ruffles you did a fantastic job. And Kaffee fabric = scrumptious! Definitely a conversation piece. That is one purse that I would not accidentaly leave behind.

SvaraRaderaVilken fantastisk väska! KF tygerna är absolut pricken över i tycker jag!
SvaraRaderaRuffles on a purse is just- "so me." Just send it on over when you are finished with it. :)

That is SO FUN! I wish I could make the little flower...LOVE THIS!

This is such a cute,cute purse--I love it! Oh, no, not for me, but for my daughter and granddaughters it would be perfect. And, I love that I can actually see green in your photos! Our spring is surely on its way!
SvaraRaderaBritt! That is a BEAUTIFUL bag!! You are far braver than I as I was scared off by the ruffles ... I know, I know ... a challenge, but still ... you did a marvelous job and love the colors! Thank you so much for sharing and GREAT JOB! :)
SvaraRaderaIt is definitely magnefique! :)
SvaraRaderaI absolutely love your bag. For a non-ruffly person like you (and me), it seems the solution is ruffle overkill. When there are so many ruffles, you don't focus on the ruffles, but on the gorgeous fabrics and the overall texture. I would definately use a bag like this, but I would never have pictured something with ruffles for me!
SvaraRaderaJust amazing! This is the best bag I have ever seen. The fabric, the colors, layers if ruffles and the fabric flower tops it off. I bet it is prettier than the one made by the pattern maker. Pretty, pretty, pretty.
SvaraRaderaBeautiful bag..love the colors and fabrics!!! Thanks for sharing :)
SvaraRaderaCute, cute. I love those ruffles, the colors, and the ruffley flower. Adding the zipper closure was a super idea.
SvaraRaderaYour bag is sure to be an eye-catcher when you use it! I like the flower too.
SvaraRaderaBritt...it is darling. I didn't think I was a ruffles girl but I'm luving ruffles more and more. Great job...thanks for sharing!! Happy stitching, Pauline
SvaraRaderaYour bag is absolutely stunning! Love everything about it.
SvaraRaderaStunning bag!!! I would love a bag like this, thanks for sharing.
SvaraRaderaEn riktig färgspruta. Härlig.
SvaraRaderaHello Britt Inger, I absolutely adore your ruffled bag and it is in purples my favourite colour. You did a beautiful job making it and although ruffles are not something I usually choose I would definitely choose that bag. Blessings Sandra
SvaraRaderaBeautiful bright fabric for a fun bag. Great job! ~Shari
SvaraRaderaGorgeous the way that your purse turned out and I think that the flower is lovely.
SvaraRaderaYou have created a beautiful bag! I love the ruffles and the flower! Thanks for sharing.
SvaraRaderaJag är inte heller så förtjust i volanger men tycker din väska blev läcker. Härliga tyger och färger.
SvaraRaderaDu har lyckats finfint :)
Ha det gott, kramar till dej!
I love the fabric and the ruffles on your bag, reminds me of spring. crystalbluern at onlineok dot com
SvaraRaderaYou knew from making the first one what you might change and that is a help! Make it your own, right? I'm not a ruffles person either but when you make something in a color you love then I bet it will grow on you and you will be getting plenty of compliments as it is YOUR creation. Well done, Britt Inger.
SvaraRaderaWoW!! LOVE the colors of your purse!
SvaraRaderaWonderful bright colours, and a great finish on your bag:)
SvaraRaderaI like the colors of your purse. The flower is ruffled as well and looks great on the purse. Thank you for sharing.
SvaraRaderaWonderful bag! Purple is my favorite color and this is fabulous. The Kaffe prints will be a great conversation piece. Thank you for sharing in the fun.
SvaraRaderaThe pattern you chose for the bag is perfect. I like that you altered it to suit your needs (wants) after having made one from the pattern. The rose is just the icing on the cake.
SvaraRaderaA friend of mine made a purse for her mother for Mother's Day. Her mother gave it back and asked her daughter to put some sort of flap (closure) over the top of it. I was astonished that someone would give a gift back and ask for a modification!!!
Thanks for participating. The bag reminds of spring and all the flowers beginning to bloom.
Hi!!! It is beautiful and I do love the fabric rose!!!!
SvaraRaderasome how I missed you on the hop. I'm glad I back tracked your e-mail message. Your purse is beautiful and definitely puts spring in the picture.
