DIY: The Everything Clutch

Click to tweet: http://clicktotweet.com/Zso3U

This is my little bag that holds everything I need when I'm switching between purses or backpacks. I thought of the idea a few years ago and sewed it myself for fun, but I haven't been able to part with it since. It holds my cards, keys, phone, lipchap, hand sani, whatever I need to carry all the time =)

All you need is some firm fabric and some kind of closure notion, like buttons or a zipper.

Hope you find some inspiration and that the first week of 2011 has gone well!
Please make requests to make sure I keep coming with things you want to learn =)

can you do an actual video of you doing it? I am more of a visual learner, so with you just talking, I can't really do it. I really like the idea and I would love to make my own.

[withwendy]

@bakedlove123 They have them at local Chinese shopping places, like hair salons or imported beauty products. They're so ridiculous but really handy haha
