If you've followed long, you've seen this project before, but I saw so many gorgeous chiffon clutches on the runway this past week from designers like Jenny Packam I thought now might be a great time to revise and revisit this project. Also, if you've been curious about the contents of my book, this is a sneak peek into one of only five book projects previously featured on Kristina J.
A clutch like this is frivolous and unnecessary except for the most special occasions. It calls to the princess inside...that part of me quick to go on a wild tangent over a few bits of cloth. Which is exactly why I love this sort of project. It's girly, extravagant and similar bags are well beyond my price point at my favorite stores. I found this particular clutch at Plato's Closet for four dollars...what better fodder for a refashionista, huh?
It would take forever to cut this many petals out by hand so I recommend using a cutting machine like a Sixxix BigShot, which can be used to create all these flowers in about 10 minutes. Major hand save.
