Oh I've got a fun share for all of you. Feast your eyes on my new, adorable diaper clutch! I don't know about you but I was sick and tired of diggin' around in my disorganized purse to find diapers and wipes. I carry a big bag, the Amy Butler Birdie Sling to be exact and with it's deep center and all my stuff
I changed it up slightly by using a laminate fabric instead of minky on the inside so that if my little makes a mess I can wipe it clean. If you've never sewn with laminates before you'll probably want to use a walking foot. Without a walking foot they tend to stick a bit in your machine. It can be done without a walking foot, but trust me it's much, much easier with one. I also added a size 60 cover button to the front of the clutch--for cuteness of course!
I used the following fabrics all available in my shop: www.fabricenvy.com
Clutch Exterior: 1/2 yard of Wallflowers in Dusk from the Secret Garden collection by the talented Sandi Henderson
Clutch Interior: 1/2 yard of Indian Big Dot in Cream from the Indian Summer collection by Zoe Pearn
That's it! From start to finish it only took me 40 minutes with plenty of distractions. This project is so simple it's perfect for the beginner. You can snag the full tutorial over on Allison website www.CluckCluckSew.com, or click here. If you like Allison's style I've got lots of Cluck Cluck Sew patterns for sale in my shop too.
Now I can finally reach into my bag and pull out a cute and practical case for my baby changin' needs.
Thank you, thank you Allison!
What a clever idea to use a laminate! So pretty and practical!
