DIY clutch purse
So I bought this bare, large "coin purse" at JoAnns a couple of weeks ago. I had my eyes open for them for awhile. They had 3 colors I think and I got it on sale for less than $5. Now what to do with it? Hence, the waiting two weeks to do anything.... I saw a really cute one in a store in San Francisco but I honestly don't even remember what it looks like at this point. I talked to Joy and she said it was a BIG flower on each side. I couldn't wrap my mind around trying that with nothing to look at for reference, so I decided on ruffles.
Here is a strip of t-shirt material I cut.
Here is the plain jane, waiting to be decorated.
I simply sewed a single stitch through the center of the strips (don't backstitch).
I tied one end of the strings in a knot. Then with the opposite end, I held ONE of the threads and pulled the fabric down into a ruffle.
I just laid them across the purse as I went to judge how much to "ruffle".
Super simple!
I didn't have any black fabric so I found an old oversized tank top that I don't like any more to cut up.
