A felt clutch...
...with re-purposed leather strap...
...made from a piece of flat felt...
...with a sewn-in zipper...
...and leather 'pull tab'.
(Here, the tab in close-up.)
Disclaimer:
This bag was fashioned entirely by my daughter, L.
It was her concept and sewing work...
...with only a few minor 'zipper tips' from me. :)
Seeing the piece of flat felt that I made in Portugal lying 'abandoned' in my studio...
...she started to 'get ideas'!! :)
And being her mother's daughter, after all...
...the first thing she thought of was a purse!! Grin.
She sewed up the sides of the felt, stitched in a zipper...
...and added a leather 'pull tab' and loop for attaching the strap.
The thin leather strap was a never-used wallet attachment...
...found during one of L's 'organizing jags', here in the studio...
...and used to great (color) advantage in this project. :)
Now that she's completed her Master's degree and is back home, job-hunting...
...I'm treasuring every moment that we spend together on fun projects like this...
...knowing that, very soon, she'll be living far away again! :(
