Don't throw it away...use it to make a unique piece of fabric, then turn it into this cute little clutch!

Once you have created your fabric, you can do anything you want with it, but here is a pattern for a simple clutch that is the perfect size for a cell phone, MP3 player, or your collection of gift cards. The PDF pattern has lots of photos to guide you through the step-by-step instructions.

Sixty years ago I was born into a family of what we would now call fiber artists. My mother was extremely creative, always on a tight budget, so she would make absolutely everything from scratch (clothing, cooking, and crafts.) My grandmothers taught me sewing and needlecrafts as far back as I can remember, and I was immediately enchanted by the magic of making something out of nothing. I started with doll clothes, and by my teen years I was sewing my own fashions from patterns, and in my thirties I dabbled in creating my own patterns and designs, many of which used fabric manipulation techniques that would have been impossible without the ability to sew. Now I am finally following my passion, many years and 2 daughters later, as a sewing educator and enthusiast!
