First Project

Look what I made with Irene today!   This is the gathered clutch design by Anna from Noodlehead.  And I pinned a Bloom Brooch to the front for an added touch of whimsy.   I actually bought Anna's pattern with the rights to sell my finished clutches so you might see some in my etsy shop soon.  This one and another that I made today are gifts so some people might want to keep an eye on their mailboxes :)

If you'd like to make your own gathered clutch Anna has a free tutorial that can be found HERE, plus lots of other great sewing projects on her blog, Noodlehead.
