Has anyone made the Cameo Clutch purse that A Stitch A Half offered free? Here is my attempt. Please don't feel that you have to say anything nice because it is far from perfect. The design stitched out beautifully but putting it together was a challenge, definitely not a project for a novice. The biggest problems were caused by the size. I did it in the 4x4 hoop and the pieces are just too small to sew together on the machine. I may take it apart and try to sew it by hand. But I do plan to try it again in the 5x7 size. That size should be easier to work with. One mistake that I made turned out to be an advantage. I didn't place the fabric far enough down when I made the flap piece and it left a small open area next to the lace but I used this as a buttonhole to keep the flap closed.
Try the larger size and see how you do.
We have all been through this and learned along the way!
There is a Tutorial on making the purse on the A Stitch A Half website.
I will post the link for you below.
Perhaps you can print it off so you can follow the steps.
