Artsy Clutch
If I would have known that yesterday was National Underwear Day, I might have changed my project to something more frilly. Instead, I chose to make something from Bend The Rules Sewing.
I decided to make the Artsy Clutch (the same pattern that appears on the front cover of the book) and used some wonderful fabrics that Tara had sent me before our move. I intend on giving this to a friend as part of a "Congratulations You're Having a Girl" present and will use this clutch as the gift bag. Inside it:
I can't take credit for the onsie construction, but did make the "Hello my name is" iron on for the shirt. I've included a permanant marker so when they finally decide on a name they can write it in!
So, now the stash sewing is up to 2! (By the way this bag sewed up FAST. If you're looking for a quick and easy project to give as a gift, this is it! For more information on my review of Bend the Rules, you can read my review here)

That is SUCH a cute bag! I JUST got back in town and my first acts are checking your site, my e-mail and PR. While out of town, I got the notion to to ride the Space Shot at "Adventureland" near Des Moines...I cannot believe I did that...I liked it.

I just loved the idea of wrapping a gift using that clutch! Perfect to have some around and use as a last minute gift wrapping. Not counting the fact you can use a lot of fabric leftover to make different sizes!
