I also tried my hand at the Noodlehead Gathered Clutch today. I think it turned out really cute, but for some reason, I wasn't following the tutorial very well. I ripped out a couple rows of stitches when putting in the zipper.
But here she is! I used a Michael Miller Love Birds print, which I kinda love.
Inside is another Michael Miller print. For the front band, I used Echino.
The best tutorial I've found for sewing any kind of lined bag, with or without a zipper, is from the book Pretty Little Purses and Pouches. I refer to it over and over again when I can't seem to remember which layer goes which way.
How's your weekend go(sew)ing so far?
I love the color choices. Cute bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the clutch - I've yet to try my hand at that one!
ReplyDeleteLoving those little birds! So cute!
ReplyDeleteReally cute! The fabric choices just make that little clutch even more wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great vintage sheet collection! A bit jealous here! ;)
ReplyDeleteCute! I have to concentrate when I am putting in the zip to make sure the layers are right...when I first started making pouches it seemed *so* confusing! lol
ReplyDeleteCongrats on adding some Nicey Jane to your stash from Gen X...I was really hoping for a win there, but was happy that someone I 'knew' won it if it couldn't be me :)
Love the pouch and I want to try some myself so thanks for the book reference.
ReplyDeleteBTW, congrats on the win at Gen X Quilters!
