Gathered Clutch...Finished!

Of course, I would probably get a lot more accomplished if I didn't keep stopping to update my blog.  However, it gives me a chance to take a little break.


This is destined for a teenage niece.  They only ever want money or gift cards and that just rubs me the wrong way.  So, if I stick money or a gift card inside a little clutch or pouch, I don't feel quite so bad.

The clutch is made following Noodlehead's Gathered Clutch Tutorial.  If you have spent any time at all surfing around crafty blogs, then surely you have seen this before. The clutch went together very easily.  I did not add the pockets inside.

As you can see from the photo, my strip down the middle is a tiny bit crooked.  It's not nearly as noticeable in real life.  Next time, I will take lots of care to make sure that I line it up exactly.

Adorable. And, of course, you must update the blog between projects. How would we see what you've been doing?

I only know it's crooked because you said so; otherwise, I'd never have known it! this little clutch is absolutely darling and your teenage niece will no doubt love it!

I have seen this one all over blogland and if you say it goes together easily then I'll believe it!

I wouldn't have noticed the crookedness either. I wonder if mine are crooked! lol. Did you have any troubles with the zipper (sewing the outsides/insides together close enough to the zipper to not have a gap?). I'm not sure what I did wrong with that part!

Yours looks great!

Sally, the bird fabric is so cute and adorable on this clutch. I have the tutorial on my craft wish list, but haven't gotten to make it yet.

I'm also writing to say that I received my bag! It's amazing. It's even cuter in person and so handy that it folds up into itself. You were so kind to offer this giveaway. Thank you!
