My current interest is to layer things into a mixture that is appealing. It was great to get my sewing machine back from repair and cleaning today. I worked on four different clutch bags.
Gold is my favorite color to sew.
Laying out the pieces takes a while. It's really fun when the thing starts to come together.
Finally I figured out a way to make my clutch bags sturdier without using plastic or cardboard. I use layers. Behind the fabric layer is a batting layer. After sewing the pieces together, I adhere and sew on a very sturdy material called "craft fuse." Then there is the lining inside as well. All the layers together make for a very sturdy purse, yet still has the soft feel to it too. 
Takes a long time to sew them up but I will feel really happy seeing a bunch of these in my shop.
