gathered clutch












I found this fun tutorial for this gathered, zippered, clutch. After the first one they went pretty fast. I have already made eight and have plans to make more. I love how quick they turn out and it is so fun to pick the fabrics to match. I made all eight from fabric I already had, I can't imagine how fun if you got to pick out new fabric!
They are great little gifts. I have given all but two away, and I love the ones I kept. I hope the recipients love theirs as much as I do.

Hobo bag



I was wanting a huge bag to double as a purse and diaper bag with tons of pockets and room for everything. I wanted something cute that I would use even if I didn't have diaper things in it. I designed this bag. I didn't have apattern, just made it up as I went. There are a few things I would've done differently, but I love the bag. I would've reinforced the band around the top and the divider inside with interfacing.

Bracelet for mom

My mom doesn't generally wear jewelry. I was very flattered that she loved this and even wore it.
