Happy March!

Well, hello there March! So glad you are finally here! February was a rough month for me so I decided to start March off with something new.

I saw this as I was perusing through the blogs that I read on a regular basis and since I have way too many random fat quarters filling up my fabric drawers I decided I would give it a go.  I'm normally an embroidery-cross-stitch kind of girl but it was about time I pulled out my trusty old sewing machine.


I have had this fabric for I don't even know how long and I like it but I never really loved it so I figured it would be perfect for the little clutch that was part of See Kate Sew's Envelope Clutch-Along.

I hit a few snags, mostly because my interfacing was too heavy but overall I am happy with the way my clutch turned out.  It is bigger than I expected it to be but it fits my wallet so I am super happy about the size.  


Its a little hard to see but I ended up making a fabric covered button out of spare lining fabric because out of all of the buttons in my stash I couldn't fine one I loved.  The button stands out enough but blends at the same time!


Here is where I ask you to ignore my wonky corners and stitches!


I'd call this a great start to March!

Hope all is well on your end!
