It’s always fun to learn a new skill. Oh I’m sorry, did I say fun? I probably meant to say frustrating at first because you can’t figure out what the crap you’re doing, but once you get the hang of it, it’s not too bad and you’re glad you stuck it out. I guess that’s considered fun, right?

Anyways, I’ve been working on making some of my own clutches and this is one that I am pretty proud of. It was an extra boost of confidence that whilst attempting to add a lining and sew in a zipper on this one, I ended up making a pretty good looking bag (if I do say so myself). Progress!!

Of course, why would I not do a cat themed bag for my first one? I’m planning on doing a few practice clutches with cheaper materials before I splurge on some nice leather, but don’t worry, this won’t be the last kitty themed bag- that’s for sure!
