Same clutch pattern as my
last post, but made with linen and a really pretty print from JoAnns (picked up this Spring.) I think it is called "winter berries." I wish it came in other color ways besides mustard. A pretty robin blue and grass green would be nice.
You can see in this photo that I started to add labels to my things. About time, huh? I purchased the custom stamp through the etsy seller:
modernartstamps. I found permanent fabric ink pads and have been practicing stamping different ribbons/fabric to get the look I want. It's not perfect (yet), but with the right base and more practice on my part I should be able to get a clean look.
I donated this clutch to a silent auction that benefited the organization
Young Life. When I was making this clutch I was trying to appeal to the young adult crowd. Something trendy but slightly grown up. It was popular. It wasn't until after I made it did I discover the local t-shirt for the kids has this saying on the front: I mustache you a question... Kind of perfect. :)
The clutch is adorable. The young girls I know would love it. I also really like your feedsack blocks. I have stacks of vintage feedsacks and repros and still haven't worked up the courage to cut into them...
