More Bend the Rules Sewing

After I got my first taste yesterday with the cute bibs - I couldn't keep away! I made this awesome Artsy Clutch from Amy Karol's Bend the Rules Sewing.

I just happened to have some great Amy Butler fabric waiting for the perfect project - and here it is!

My first Artsy Cluth!

I love this button too. I didn't have any elastic - so I used a hair elastic ala Dogged knits for the closure. I think it works great!

You didn't think I only made one did you?

Here is my second Arsty Clutch!

I used some cotton canvas for this second one and it makes it so sturdy! I got a sweet deal from Henry Road - you can purchase their left over fabric in bulk! You don't know what you're going to end up with - but I ordered two "fabric remnants" and got a bunch of awesome prints. I highly recommend checking it out.
