Dusty Blue Wool Chickadee Bag


So... I like to do all things crafty and creative. It's my way to relax and unwind even when the sewing machine is giving me a hard time and schnerping, as my mom calls it( when the bobbin thread bunches). I still find enjoyment in the projects that I create for myself. My latest project was a gift for my sister for her birthday. I wanted to make her a clutch handbag to use when she goes out for drinks with friends. I used the fabrics that I had around the house and its was actually a lot of fun to literally piece together the various finds of my basement sewing room. I lined the inside with a simple cotton but included a magnetic snap closure and small inner pocket for little items. The last touch was a vintage brass lamp chain as a handle. I loved it so much I can't wait to make one for myself. Love those cute little chickadees!!!!
