I think It's Ready Now

Hello, it's a new day!

Rain or shine I'm pretty busy sewing and making this week
yesterday I made some small changes to the structure
of this new envelope clutch I showed you last Sunday.
It has taken hours to put every piece together but
I think it looks quite perfect and works well now.

Once I get a batch of these ready I could list them to my Etsy, too.
Oh, and tomorrow Wednesday I'll be at Kimara's shoppe in Helsinki,
stop by and say hello if you're in town!

New Work: Envelope Clutch

Hi,

It's been a while since I wanted to create an envelope clutch
but came up with a nice design just this weekend
so here are the first pictures of my new piece.
What is great about this design is that this clutch
closes with a zipper (everything stays securely inside)
but has also a beautiful flap with a magnet closure
which gives detailed finishing touch to this piece.
Both inner and outer fabrics have been reinforced
so the clutch holds its shape nicely.

Besides sewing I strolled in the woods for hours yesterday
we went for mushroom hunting and found lots of chanterelles
so I bet we'll make chanterelle soup (maybe even a quiche) today.

I hope you're enjoying your weekend, too!

Hello Tuesday!

The weekend was good and
I'm now busy with new local orders.
I've been hunting some particular fabrics
and also ordered more earring supplies.
Karuski's vintage stud earrings have been
much loved lately. *happy*

I would love to share a few lovely purses found through Flickr
