This is the latest in my sewing adventures. It's the Artsy Clutch from
Amy Karol's book. It was fairly easy to put together and I decided to use the polymer clay button that I made the other day. I never use clutches but I think this will be handy when I run a quick errand and just need to take a couple of things. I'm quite pleased with the results. I didn't have elastic cord for the button so I ended up using a crocheted strip instead.
Have you ever noticed when you start a new technique/craft (in this case sewing) you just want to keep going? Well, I'm no exception. I never thought I'd say this put it's actually hard for me to put the sewing machine away now. I need to though, because I need to finish the new cards that I'll be posting on my site soon. I'm off to work on some printing...
congratulations! You should be pleased it is lovely. Great for summer cocktails. love the linen.

FYI: I sent an email just to thank you for visiting/commenting but I got an error message.
I love the little clutch and I am very envious of your sewing. I yearn to sew but I am all thumbs. Maybe one day...
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I have totally dumped scrapbooking since I bought my new sewing machine - I can think of a reason to use it everyday.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to the sewing machine addiction - I don't even want to get mine serviced, I'll have withdrawal,
ReplyDeleteI like to sew now more than I did as a kid when the stitch ripper was my friend. "Doh! Read pattern then sew, read pattern then sew, read pattern then sew"
ReplyDeleteit is lovely, and what a great touch, a handmade button. I have the same dilemma with clutches, and never seem to run out the door without taking a handbag overflowing with "essentials"!
