Embroidered Clutch bag

I was asked to make a clutch bag to match an outfit for a wedding. It had to be small so only a purse and lipstick could be held and to match the highlight colour of cerise to go agaist a cream dress.

So using a simple fold clutch style, I used the Urban Threads Blackthorn drape embroidery in cream and then added some little hot fix pearls and gemstones as an accent.

With the bits of fabric left over, My daughter was after small project bags for her crafts So I quickly made this one and now have requests for more!

This will now do for my ramblings and any freebies I want to share with people. So finally to the purpose of this first post in a long time. While I was updating the websites, I rediscovered digital art and digital scrapbooking. Anyone who has ever read any of my diatribe and ramblings ...
