Purse Week Guest Tutorial: I Am Momma – Hear Me Roar

Cheri from I Am Momma – Hear Me Roar is here with an adorable clutch. Her blog is so great—it seems her posts always interest me, and she has such a variety of topics as well. From hair week, sewing, home decorating tips, etc., her blog is a definite favorite of mine. I’ve met Cheri a couple times now. She’s great. I’m trying out her upcycled hats this week. And her craft room, playroom, and family room? Let’s see what she has for us today, shall we? Hello Lemon Squeezy Ladies (and gentlemen). Today I'm going to show you how to make this. I will explain the process, but I won't give exact measurements because it all depends on how large you want your clutch to be.

Okay, let's take a time out here. I took my rectangle and folded up the bottom so that it was about the size I wanted the clutch to be. Next I wanted the flap to be circular so I found a bowl the right size, traced the line onto the leather, and cut it. Next I made the scalloped edge.  LIttle Boy's Tie. This little boy's Easter tie is quick but very well made and will brighten any Easter outfit.

The tie is sewn almost entirely by hand, so if you don't have a machine its easy to finish without one.

Cut out the Front Tie piece. Cut Front Tie Lining and Back Tie Lining Using the second 27-inch Tana Lawn square cut out the Back Tie in the same manner as above, along the bias fold.

A Coin Purse Tutorial. So, some of you who read my tweets might have seen that I've been sewing like mad for an up-coming craft fair.

A Coin Purse Tutorial

It's the first one where I'm selling mainly handmade items and I'm panicking slightly about what to sew amongst (many) other things. As it's at a school there should be plenty of children so I wanted to make some small, affordable items that children might like. I had a feeling coin purses could be popular but much as I wanted to make them they have been something of a problem for me over the years. I know they should be simple but it seems every time I try I get ugly, bulky corners that drive me mad. See! I've tried all kinds of different methods but still have the same problem and it only seems to occur on purses. I listed my main criteria... Tidy corners, a lining in a different fabric from the outer, a zip, no raw edges showing inside. You will need... You will also need... A zipper foot A size 16 needle (for heavy weight fabrics)
