Today, was the first day I didn't feel awful! When I woke up this morning, I felt like I could actually do something other than lay down. So, I didn't want to over do it, ya know, I have to work tomorrow.
I wanted to do something productive, but that didn't' require a great deal of effort. So, I cut a few pieces of fabric and sat down to sew a 'gathered clutch'. Sounds fun, huh?
and yes, I lined it {smile}. I used Comfort Cafe fabric. You get 3 extra large fat quarters in each package of Stampin' Up! fabric. I used all three patterns. The only non-Stampin' Up! product that I used to create this little beauty is the zipper. It's a 7" white zipper.
I think my little (8" x 5") gathered clutch turned out quite cute!
This project usually takes me about an hour or so to complete. But, due to my ending illness, this sewing project took me almost 3 hours. My head is still in a bit of a fog. But, I didn't have a deadline. It was quite nice to sit and sew, iron, and battle a zipper without breaking a needle. Therapeutic, so to speak.
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate the following.

Little clutches to hold all kinds of memories, a single earring, half used lipstick, ticket stubs from a rock concert. Who knows what else. Virginia
