Clutch bag

I absolutely love a clutch bag, so chic and elegant and absolutely not just for the evening as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps not the most practical of handbags but then I'm not really the sort of girl to lug her entire life around with her; phone, keys, money, lipbalm and I'm good to go. so I really have no idea why it hasn't occurred to me before to make my own. So here is my first ever attempt.

I am super pleased with it; cute little pleats, handy interior pocket and a bit of bling. But now I'm hooked, I think I might have to make one in every colour. I'm all over the place with ideas for fabrics and embellishments.

I'm thinking now of ideas for larger clutch bags, maybe A4 sized so I can put sketchbooks and other uni bits and bobs in it, in cord or velvet, with an unexpected lining fabric, leopard print maybe?or floral? I can't decide, I can't keep up with my own ideas but it is so good to be feeling so enthusiastic about a project again, it's been a while since I've been this keen and I love it!
