I got this ugly handbag in Primark years ago. I think I have used no more than 10 times and was about to put it in the bin not a long time ago. I kept it though with the purpose of recycling the pieces.
To make this fold-over clutch I have used the zip and some of the vynil-fabric.
To be honest, I have no idea where or when I bought this fabric. I do not really like it, I find it a bit sad and seems I also recycled it from old curtains. Anyway, it was perfect to match with the brown recycled pieces and to train to make my first fold over clutch.
I think I am going to recycle more pieces and make a strap for it, but it will be later.
My niece turned 5 yesterday and she is becoming an adorable little girl. She lives no less than 600 km away and cannot see her as much as I wished, so I sent her a little present by post with this birthday card I made with scraps.
I am posting this picture to show how well my favourite curvy clutch and my outfit matched at a lovely wedding my boy and I witnessed last July. Well, the black strap round my shoulder was not in my outfit actually, but this is the only pic I have to show carrying my handmade curvy clutch in use! You can see it better in this post.
Thanks to Yummy Lavender's auntie for the pic!
