That's Clutch

I was about to get rid of belt and thought, "I wish I could do something with that belt since it's cute but just not right as a belt."  With that came the inspiration for a clutch.  If I needed more clutches I would be obsessed with renewing belts, but for now one belt clutch is enough.  I wish I could leave steps on how I made it but it was one of those "figure it out as I go" projects.  I'm excited with how it turned out.

               

             










In hind sight, here is how I made it:  Basically, I opened one side of the belt, cut it into three parts, sewed the sections together, added a zipper to the top and sewed the bottom and sides.

While we are on the subject of clutches I ended up sewing a second clutch using my favorite materials.  Clutches are hard if you don't have thick enough material.  I think I may be done with them for a while, but I had to use the purple and the black script material.  This was another one without a tutorial.  It took me a while to get it right, but it was fun to work it out.
