Cameo Clutch Purse made in 5X7 and coin bag came from a "A Stitch a Half" and the tissues case came from "Designs by Sick". The fabric came from the bottom of a long dress I cut off for my son's wedding. It is a late morning wedding and the bride's mom is wearing a short dress. I may or may not have a few tears so I made a matching tissue case. With some left over fabric I fiddled with the clutch purse design in the 4x4 size and left off the bottom gusset. My machine messed up and left the satin edge in a bobbin nest mess so instead of scrapping the design I made a lining for it. The lace handle I elongated and made narrow a piece of FSL for which I have no idea where it came from.

This is beautiful and I love how you decided to recycle the fabric for it. I have this design and have never stitched it. Would you do it again? Was it hard to make?
