I dug through my box of fabric and came upon an orangish fabric that I have had since high school probably and was never really fond of, until last night! I have seen a cool little clutch somewhere that is basically just a tube that folds down and buttons closed. Sans pattern or measurements I set out to make one and an hour later voila!
I found the button in my button tin, which I acquired from the dump a few years ago and have added to ever since. It is the spare to a sweater that I have, I hope I don't lose one off the sweater and have to replace it with this one, because I really like the way it looks!The button and loop are a little off center, but I like to wonky look (and it's a good thing, since most of my projects tend to turn out a little wonky!)
I look forward to Fridays a little bit more now that I can see, and be inspired by everyone else in the Sew-N-Tell.
Have a great weekend!

The bag is so cute and the button is perfect! How talented you are to do this on your own! This really impresses me and I'm lovin' the repurposefulness of it all!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it nice to take a break from what we "have" to do to do something we want to do! LOL
Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing!

I truly love it! Orange is my fave. Personally, I think we should all alternate projects for others with projects for ourselves, but it doesn't seem to happen. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little bag! I have had a crush on orange of late but have yet to make anything. This would be a great project. Thanks for sharing!
