I think you have a money making business if you want it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368641 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:31:34 +0000 Suzanne (ambergreen) 1368641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous DIY, and you look great. (I know my eye had a hard time with fluid fits on me.) Many people wear animal print as a neutral, too, so it can go with nearly anything. I think the metallic is really fun as an option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368632 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 18:18:45 +0000 Alexandra 1368632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks awesome! And hand-stitched too, I can't even imagine doing that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368333 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 06:10:31 +0000 Diana 1368333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I a so impressed that you made that! It looks fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368328 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 05:52:44 +0000 Sharon 1368328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is fantastic. I'm so impressed that you know how to do leather work. My son's girlfriend is into sewing and fashion and she made a big clutch out of faux fur. It looked great and was such a fun piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368318 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 05:40:03 +0000 Marley 1368318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - are you kidding me????? &nbsp;This is beautiful! &nbsp;LOVE it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368200 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:07:28 +0000 Jaime 1368200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My suggestion is to me add me to your order waiting list. What a brilliant solution! (I like the tassel.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368196 Fri, 03 Oct 2014 03:03:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1368196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I haven't ventured into sewing leather! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1368003 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 23:49:04 +0000 Aida 1368003@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun!! The clutch turned out really nice, and I quite like the tassel with it. I've been toying with the idea of making some of my own clutches, this is great inspiration. I'll have to check out the chisel tools, I'd definitely need one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367910 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 22:05:48 +0000 bj1111 1367910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#gifted<br />#iwantit<br />#pleasesellit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367883 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:40:44 +0000 catgirl 1367883@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun!&nbsp; A DIY is always extra-fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367880 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 21:34:22 +0000 Karie 1367880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic clutch!

I actually have Tandy leathers on my favourites list. I was looking at leathers a while back. Fascinating. I'm really tempted to do one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367704 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 17:03:00 +0000 Ornella 1367704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep the tassel. And quit your daily job. Make these instead.<br />Ok just kidding, but this is one fantastic piece and will make very, very&nbsp;special Christmas gift.</p> <p>You look fab, btw. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367688 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:47:18 +0000 amiable 1367688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Terrific job on the bag! &nbsp;It looks great, and is more special that you put the effort in to it yourself! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367687 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:45:13 +0000 Susie 1367687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, that's beautiful!

I'm so impressed! I like the tassel; it adds a professional touch and a little bit of interest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367677 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:30:00 +0000 Angie_T 1367677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kristin, I just cut out squares to size (12" because I had an 11" zipper) and then started stitching!&nbsp; In my note above to Dianne I showd the tool I use to pre-cut my holes for stitching. </p> <p>I did make a terribly dumb mistake by not sewing the zipper on first, so I had to remove one seam and re-do it after I stitched the zipper on both sides.&nbsp; I used a purse zipper but I think it would be easier to use a separating zipper because the leather is so bulky to work with. </p> <p>I didn't line it, because I was already working with a lot of thickness and I was hand stitching.&nbsp; (I didn't even pin anything!)&nbsp; It's fine for me unlined, but I want to play around with lining if I make these for gifts.&nbsp; </p> <p>I would love to find some cool zippers to work with.&nbsp; Something that has personality.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367675 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:24:00 +0000 Angie_T 1367675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ya'll.&nbsp; I was so pleased with it.&nbsp; And so grateful I didn't spend $200!!&nbsp; </p> <p>Dianne G, the leather is not as thin as glove leather and I'm not sure how it would sew on a machine.&nbsp; I got it at Tandy Leather and I have asked them before if I could sew it on a machine and they said "You can if I knew what you're doing" which I took as a no!&nbsp; I have heard of others hand turning a sewing machine wheel and using a heavy duty needle to sew leather.&nbsp; The ebay store where I found more leather lists it as 1.2 mm thick.<a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Tacoma-Glove" rel="nofollow">http://stores.ebay.com/Tacoma-Glove</a>&nbsp; <br />The leather is more expensive here than in my local store.</p> <p>I hand stitched it but I have a tool that cuts the holes for me.&nbsp; <br /><a href="http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/tools/88050-551.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.tandyleatherfactory.....0-551.aspx</a><br />They come in different sizes, but my tool cuts 4 holes per half inch, so I just pre-chisel the holes, then hand stitch with waxed thread.&nbsp; It doesn't take long at all. </p> <p>After visiting a fabric store to buy a purse zipper, I must say I am wanting to pull out my sewing machine that my parents gave me about 30 years ago and see if I can remember how to use it!&nbsp; I might need to find an online refresher course on sewing. </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367674 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 16:22:41 +0000 Kristin SF 1367674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of my fave outfits you've shown so far, and the clutch is perfect with it! </p> <p>Do you have instructions? Would love to try to duplicate on my own, it looks so cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367650 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:51:38 +0000 bella 1367650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know how to work the leather like that!! It's amazing! I would never ever buy another leather bag if I were you. You are so good at this.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367641 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:41:01 +0000 rabbit 1367641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome!! &nbsp;Ya know, calf hair looks lovely, but it also rubs off (especially if it is on the part of the bag that touches your body), &nbsp;I think this clutch is just lovely!! &nbsp;I think the size of the shirt looks just fine on you, the right kind of slouchy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367622 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:12:17 +0000 Anonymous 1367622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's absolutely gorgeous! I sew, but have never worked with leather at all. I would love one like that. May I ask about the thickness of the leather, was it quite pliable and easy to work with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wimade-a-clutch#post-1367619 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 15:09:35 +0000 rachylou 1367619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!
