Clutches & Sturdy Tote Bag

Clutches are a good project in building bag making skills.


While developing more skills, managed to make these little clutches,

My Clutch cuties to soon to be gifted







QAYG Tote
This tote uses a cotton batting base along with utility cloth for construction building with the lowere and bottom area.
Patchwork formed using cotton scraps for the outer bag construction.

Fun making this tote and met with some challenges to be dealt of my own. 

This becomes quite a Sturdy bag
and making it a bit of challenge.
 Yet with pleanty of rewards once done.
This should become easier for and with the next try.
