Fold over clutch

Oy it has been a while since I've made anything crafty. I had an idea this morning to make a fold over clutch type bag and I decided I needed to make it today or else I probably would put it off for a while.

I used some great home decor weight yellow patterned fabric and a light brown for the lining. It was really simple to make as it is just a giant rectangular zipper pouch that folds. I might try using a magnetic button next time to hold the flap down but I wanted to see how it would work without one first. Seems to be okay!

Toiletries bag

I just picked up my sewing machine from getting it serviced and was itching to sew something as soon as I got home. I made this toiletries bag for my boyfriend. He picked out the fabric a while ago and I just got around to making it today. The inside is a blue gingham oil cloth so that it's easy to clean when stuff spills in it. 

Makeup pouch

I made this makeup bag/pencil case for my Aunt for her birthday. I LOVE the outside fabric so much! The colours are great and the shimmer just makes it amazing. I got the fabric at the Creativ Festival in Toronto last October. The Spring Creativ Festival is the weekend of April 15 which is right after I finish my last final exams of my undergrad!! Perfect timing :)
