Two weddings and a clutch


I am in two weddings in May both of which I can't wait for. I've been looking for a clutch I could use for both weddings, but since one wedding has white accents and the other has ivory accents it narrowed the possibilities quite a bit. After much unsuccessful searching, I decided to pull out my new sewing machine and make one myself. This is my second project on a sewing machine and I'm really getting in to it.

Both fabrics for this piece were purchased at Britex in San Francisco. The exterior fabric is textured and is ivory with white accents The liner is silk and a print by a designer named Anna Sui

Pattern notes: This pattern w/ Uhandbags instructions was really simple. I used only one piece of fusable interfacing for this one b/c I wanted a floppier bag, and my pattern is altered a little b/c the frame I used isn't the same as the pattern. I used E6000 glue, and it was a scary mess.
