I came across this little finished object when cleaning my craft room the other day. I can’t believe I hadn’t listed this adorable zippy pouch on etsy. It’s there now.
It’s made out of several of my favorite fabrics … gray polka dots, some echino, habitat and some of what’s left of my mendocino from blocks I made back in 2010.
I thought I would share with you the tutorial I used for my clutch wallets. I made a few modifications (obviously), but this is the tutorial I used to make my first wallet (pictured below). It’s from Purl Soho.
Get creative and make as many modifications as you want. I started by changing the angle of the fabric to create more visual interest. Have fun!
Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I can mark another project off my list: wallets!
I finished a bunch just in time for last week’s craft show, and they sold like hot cakes! I’m slowly listing the rest on my etsy store.
At least not yet.
I’ve been TRYING to make this purse, but haven’t had any luck getting it just right yet. My biggest problem is the handles. I’ve made 2 bags so far. One was for my mom and the other was originally for a birthday gift for a friend but I decided it wasn’t good enough and gave it away as a non-b-day gift to another friend (who hasn’t gotten it yet, but should today).
Anyway, the issue is the handles, like I said. I can’t quite seem to get them sewn right. I have to tuck the fabric in and it never seems to stay. It gets all bunchy and angle-y and in some places it just plain comes out and the raw edge shows.
Here’s my latest venture. I haven’t put the handles on or attempted to SEW handles just yet because this is the best bag I’ve done so far. I am thinking I might do something different, like add a zipper and a wide band of pink fabric around the top that goes into a handle off the side (like a clutch). I just don’t know how to go about doing that.
Kinda scared to try to add handles of any kind.
Kinda forgot to add pockets... oops. Next time: pockets.
