The Necessary Clutch Wallet......

 

 

The past 11 years my sewing has been very sporadic. Only recently did I really get the machines into my own little space. I think the house we have moved into creates a nice little space and the kids can still play around in the house while I am busy sewing. Anyway, I have been mesmerized by all the blogs out there with wonderfully creative sewers and crafters. I get so many ideas etc. As I am browsing around last week I come upon this site - Emmaline - sewing patterns and Purse Hardware
If you know me at all you will know that I thought I was in Heaven. She has some great patterns, tutorials and beautiful hardware. I immediately ordered the Necessary Clutch wallet .I have always wanted to make a wallet but with the bags it is easy to adjust my own pattern but the wallet was above what I could come up with.

I chose to use some of the SweSwe fabric that my lovely Mom brought from South Africa on their last visit. More about SweSwe Here. It is wonderful for bags.

Anyway I am due for a new wallet and thought I would just do a little bit here and there. But as soon as I started I could not stop and just wanted to finish. I am quite happy how it turned out on my first try.
