Bow-Accented Clutch Wristlets Are Here!

I think my favorite thing about reading blogs is
finding a great tutorial.

{It's kind of like a giveaway, where everyone wins the prize!}

Recently I stumbled upon this most fabulous tutorial,
by Whitney of elm street life,
for a Bow Clutch.

I asked Whitney for permission to sell some of the bags I'm making from her tutorial, in my shop on Etsy, eamylove.
She said, "Yes."

{Thank you, Whitney!}

I thought you might like to see what I came up with...so far.
I started with this sweet little cherry polka dot number.



For the interior, I wanted a high contrast, high interest print.
How about black and white, with red all over?

{This makes me think of Minnie Mouse every time I see it.
And then I really want to go to Disney World.}


How fun is that?



For my next bag, I wanted to continue with the picnic feel,
but make it even more charming and dainty.

I can always count on my Darla prints by Tanya Whelan...


Inside, I'm loving the yellow gingham!


I have a collection of colorful zippers for my purse-making pleasure.

{They add some..."zip"...to every purse.}



For the yellow bag, though, I really love the crisp fresh white zipper!


Moving on to my latest bow-clutch purse,
I craved a bit of classic sophistication, so I chose a
black-and-white houndstooth print in a light home dec cotton.


What should I put in the interior this time???

{Obviously it's time to call in some Sis Boom here...}

I love this hot pink print by Jennifer Paganelli,
from her Flower Power line.



Weddings, picnics, a trip to the city,
vacation, or a night out...




these little clutches will go anywhere
and look great with any outfit!



Perfect for summer,
all of these bags have been listed in my shop on Etsy,
