I made this for my sister for her birthday. I gave her a clutch purse last year, she was being very inventive and using it as a case for her hard drive, so I thought I'd make her another one with a bit more padding!! Again, the pattern is from the Sewing Calendar 2010. This little calendar is coming in very useful for little projects. I quilted it with radiating straight lines from the centre, spiral like, and used a press stud instead of a button. I tried making a button hole with a sample but my machine just wasn't coping, layers were a bit thick I think.
Edit: I also changed the size so it would fit an external hard drive.
The design is by Ayumi Takahashi of Pink Penguin. You can also find the pattern on her website as a tutorial, along with some other lovely looking tutorials which I'm going to have to try.

The fabric is beautiful! I really want that calendar! It seems to have stacks of projects. I am still keeping my eyes out for it at my bookstores!
ReplyDeleteI really love this project . . . it's on my (very long!) list of things I want to make!
