Bags Part 5: The Test Clutch
...the final bag in the series.
In addition to being my favorite of all the bags, this was also a test run for a birthday gift.
(HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!)
Jenny's bag had a little cursive "J" patch on it, and a way better loop-handle-thingy. See the embellishment on my handle? You might be thinking, "Oh that Corrie, she's just so creative, adding that little star and lace there." Or maybe it's more like, "Ew, that Corrie, she's always adding stuff like that star and lace and never knows when to leave well enough alone."
Well, that little addition is actually a cover job for some violent thread snipping that went awry. I was so annoyed turning that dang handle inside out that when I went to (frustratingly) cut the loose threads, I snipped right through the fabric, leaving a gaping hole. I wasn't about to spend another 20 minutes turning another handle inside out, so I patched it up right nice with some white cotton lace and a vintage star button.
I would say, "and no one will ever know!"
...but now you do.

JUST LISTED: Sundry Necklace
sun•dry (sən-drē )
of various kinds; several
The Sundry Necklace is my favorite design as of late. It is so versatile (and comfortable!) and gives you that rad layered look without all the tangles.
Made from a mix of (mostly vintage) metal chains, these have been grouped together and secured to a soft turquoise woven ribbon tie.
You can seriously wear this with ANYTHING. ;)

Bags Part 4: The Snack Bag
Out of all five bags, this one was definitely the easiest. I used a good ol' brown paper lunch sack as a pattern. It's not lined, it's not fancy, it's not original... just functional, reusable, and washable. And wouldn't you know, I've had more requests for this one than any other!

Congrats, babe...you effortlessly snagged the coveted spot with your rugged good looks. Well done.
