More Sewing Projects

When my sister was here visiting from DC last summer, we came across a tutorial for a gathered clutch.  When she saw it, she said, "we should each sew one of these, we can work on them together."  Now my sister isn't a sewer like me and so I was really really excited that she had thought of such a fun idea!  She soon went home, and we ended up working on them "together" over the phone.  I thought they were really cute and decided my sister-in-law should get one too, so while my sister sewed one for herself, I sewed one for me and one for our sister-in-law too! 

 The inside has a divider pocket and some card holders.
I also made her this quick camera strap cover

 And since I had my brother's family for Christmas gifts this year, and I had made the pillows for his kids and the clutch for his wife, I didn't want to leave him out of the homemade gift department, so I whipped up this silly little Apple pouch and stuffed it with candy.  That wasn't his "real" present, but it was fun to make too!  Oh, and you can thank blogger for turning the picture upside down.  Blogger doesn't like me.

I LOVE the camera strap you made for me, and the clutch. I have used it many times already when I need to my license only I use it in the diaper bag so I don't have to bring my big wallet.

Eric was glad he didn't get left out on the handmade department.

Emmy told me about these! They came out great. I wonder if you flipped the picture in photo shop or whatever you use, if Blogger would turn it over and then it would be right side up. haha.
