this clutch was a project from Amy Karol's book mentioned earlier last month. i did a slight variation of my own for the clasp. instead of elastic i made a lace loop by wraping some cotton twine in lace and sewing a zig zag stich over top. the button is a dark navy blue and the lining is an orangey-coral red. this was such a satisfying project!thank you amy & thank you chase for letting me borrow the book!
this is the brooch i made. it's very alice in wonderland. i think i will call it 'go ask alice'. it's so fun. i am still working out some of the kinks with this one, but this last version came out pretty good so i thought i'd share. it's been fun trying to make brooches out of fabric and pure imagination. it is supe difficult to sew so small and curvy though. ugh. it's worth it though when you have the patience.
these little doodads make me want to try for a project a day. so no promises, but i will try and if it goes well, maybe i will make a formal pledge and set some rules. fun. yeah! x

your brooch almost looks like the inside of an oyster. Maybe you can do an oyster brooch?! Actually I dont know if anyone would want a vajayjay looking thing on their lapel.
