I've been hard at work on a special project for a new and very lovely customer in Australia!
~*~
She chose this vintage Peter Rabbit print as the main fabric because she loved all the colors.~*~
At my urging, she agreed to this pink vintage sheeting as the trim.~*~
I added a vintage wooden toggle button.... ~*~
... and voila! An upcycled clutch purse that is both roomy and stylish. ~*~
We are toying with the idea of adding a wrist strap. I love the way this design turned out, and made sure to write down my stitches and pattern as I worked. There's got to be another person out there who'd love a bag that says, "I am unique and I HEART handmade"!
~*~
Happy Monday! What are you working on this fine first day of February?
omg! that turned out soso awesome!!!!!!!!!! your expertise in picking out the right material to mesh with the peter rabbit fabric is unbelievable. way to go!
