Blooming Bag


How's it going everyone?
I hope you're having a marvelous week.

Yesterday, I played around with a placemat
and transformed it into an evening bag.
I got a kick out of that, so today I'm making
another one.

blah: a barely used placemat

Orient it vertically towards you.
Fold it in thirds and stitch the two edges
of the bottom fold.

I saw this Valentino clutch in the March 2011 issue
of the Oprah Magazine. Cute right?
I used it as my muse.

To my D-I-Y clutch, I attached some brooches that I
made out of bold-colored felt & covered buttons.

Then I added a felt sash, a plastic buckle & Velcro closure.


TADA! My bag is in full bloom!
