Felted envelope clutch

[flyinghooks]

I have to go to a fancy dinner. This is traumatic, I've been a SAHM for almost 8 years. I have no nice dress clothes! I went dress shopping, shoe shopping and then, since necessity is the mother of invention.. I designed and made a felted clutch envelope purse...

There's more info (including the clutch pattern & a photo of the dress) at this blog post

Very cool!! I've made bags and clutches to go with my outfits as I,too, am a "ID and cash in the jeans pocket" kinda gal. I haven't tried felting anything yet, but that looks terrific!

[Riohnna]

Nice job! I love that antique looking clasp! It came out nice and rectangular, not all wonky like felted items can sometimes get.

Very classy.

It looks great! And I like your blog too!

I was a SAHM but have gone back part time and it's sooo hard now, work just gets in the way!Enjoy while you can.

It is so perfect! I'd panic if I had to get dressed for the Four Seasons, but you nailed it! Hope it's a blast, I'm a SAHM too and I'm usually desperate to go to Boston. I always peek into the dining room while driving by and wonder what it must be like in there!

Nice bag, now I know why my sister (Lizc) wants us! (she really means me) to make it for her. I might need one for myself also great bag
