a "pocket" par excellence

my family can always pick one of my creations because i love to mash different fabrics together in unexpected combinations of print and colour. i also really like to recycle fabrics from old curtains, sheets and linens; the muted colours and soft handle of the fabric is magic. the sanderson linen i used for my camera cosy was so lovely that i decided to make a larger cosy, in fact a clutch bag. i thought it might be good to carry on occasions when i don't need my "kitchen sink" bag.

this time i added a remnant of tapestry fabric leftover from my couch, a doily, ribbon from a gift and again lining from a recycled sheet. all in all a very "green" project!

clutch lining


this size is perfect for a book, a craft project or just essentials for shopping. i will probably use it for church so keep an eye out for me girls!
