Gathered clutch bag

 
For this little bag, I used a tutorial found at Noodlehead, who has written many excellent tutorials for various handbags, here

This one is her

Noodlehead tutorial

this is such a cute project.  A lot of the fun is in picking out the fabrics to use.

In my little bag, I replaced the accent fabric with some wide ribbon that I had on hand,

I had so much fun making it, that I went on to make a larger, co-ordinating zipper clutch,

I did line it, but I didn't use batting, which I should have, in order to give it more body,

Oh well, they make a cute set,

Maybe they would be good to use as travel bags to store smaller items.

Making zipper bags is so much fun!
