It's Friday! If you didn't read yesterday's post about my sew & tell survey go read it! I want your input, for reals! (plus if you want to go like my Facebook page you can click over from there - or the tab up top...)
OH, and MORE information about the Amy Butler sew & tell here. And just to clarify - you just have to use some element of Amy Butler in your sewing project to link up that day. There will also be prizes for commenters. Yes, it's going to be THAT fun. Get ready!
I hope you have all had a fun week that involved some sewing! I was able to finish up some clutches that I cut out a few weeks ago when I helped Jessica make her's.
I have a few friends who have really helped me out these past few months, and I wanted to make them something fun, useful and cute. I hope I succeeded!
To clarify, they are a good size for a diaper clutch if you need one, but they'll also work for throwing your phone, wallet and keys in to as well! You can find the instructions in Amy Karol's Bend the Rules Sewing. I modified it a bit (size and one of the techniques), but they sew up so quickly!
The buttons are all re-purposed from old suits. You know how you get an extra button in a tiny ziploc bag with some clothing? Well, I had a former boss who was always dressed to the nines (in fact I didn't know what that meant until I worked for her) and she brought me all of her old buttons one day! How nice was that?! The pink and the turquoise are both fabric covered and the other is, maybe?, a Chanel button? It wouldn't surprise me. But it could just be a knock off.
What sewing project did you finish this week?

Adorable clutches!
I love the clutches. I think we should get together one day and make a bunch. They would be fun to have on hand to give out as gifts. I still haven't bought any Amy Butler fabric yet. Maybe, I'll get some soon.
Good Morning Amy. :o)
Thank you for answering my question about the Amy Butler sewing. :o)
Your clutches are so cute and I love how you were able to re-purpose the buttons! Clever and cute! :o)
This week I have been working on cutting fabric for a new quilt. :o) I look forward to posting when it is finished.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

The clutches look so sweet! Great gifts. Still no sewing machine on this end. Waiting for the spare pares fairies at Janome to decide to send the parts!!! Patience is not my strong suit. Only finish I have is a mountain of cutting, I may never get it all sewn I am so far ahead!!! LOL!!
That Japanese fabric is killing me! So cute.
I have so many projects with all the ingredients for and now all I can think about is using my full punch card at Material Girls to buy Amy Butler fabric. Sigh.
Those are some awesome clutches and fabrics. The tula pink butterfly is amazing!
Love the clutches. I'm having to order some Amy Butler because I can't find any local store that carries it. :/
Thanks for hosting such a fun linky party. My favorite part is that is has to be something done THIS WEEK! It is a great motivator and I love seeing everyone else's projects!

I love quick and simple projects! Your clutches are adorable. I'm glad to be back for Sew and Tell and I love the new "set up" that includes an image, very nice, indeed. Thank you so much for commenting on my blog, I appreciate it very much. Have a great weekend and I'll see ya next week. : )
Very cute clutches! That is so cool your boss brought you her extra buttons. The right button can really dress up a project.
Love the buttons!!
I hope that pink one is for me!!! :) So cute.
Cute clutches! I especially like the Flutterby one :-)
I think giving away a pink one on Amy Butler day is a fantastic idea! Also, that Japanese Import fabric is adorable, so so cute!
Great gifts! I'm looking forward to all the Amy Butler posts!
Love these clutches! So cute, and the fabrics and buttons are great.
I have been hosting "Bag Lady Week" at my blog all week (www.ocd-obsessivecraftingdisorder.blogspot.com), so these are right up my alley at the moment :-) I added a couple of my bags I made this week into your sew and tell (my first time joining, what fun!).
Have a great weekend!
