new clutch purse in progress

I stumbled upon some new fabric last week, it looks like a soft leather but its fabric. I knew that I was going to start a new purse from this fabric. I decided to make a clutch purse similar to this,

This little beauty was recently sold from my kathisewnsew handmade boutique, and is on its way to its new owner. I always get nervous between the time I send it and the time they receive it, what if they don't like it, what if it gets lost in the mail, I don't know why I do this because I have not had a bad experience. I love this bag, I think its unique, interesting, pretty, and something no one else will have. I've never been the type of person that followed what others do. I really think this is why I started making purses for myself & I know there must be others out there that like to be there own person also.

Well, back to the new purse, its this style, but different colors. So here is a sneak peek of whats to come.

This is the slow time consuming process, attaching and reinforcing the cord. I do this stitching all by hand with heavy duty thread. Its kinda funny but I love the hand sewing part, its a relaxing thing for me.

Well, my dishes are screaming at me so I'm off to do dishes and clean house, then hopefully do some more work on this purse.
