A few years ago I bought several yards of this vintage houndstooth fabric that I found stashed in the back of a retro furniture store in Austin on S. Congress. I didn't have the guts to cut big pieces out of it at first so I went on a tiny bag rampage and made this matching set. I realize now that when you start to look at all that houndstooth print together it begins to feel a lot like an optical illusion. If necessary, look away and blink a few times in between pictures!
Anyway, these are all easy, quick projects that require very little time or materials.
This is the gathered clutch by Noodlehead and you can get the tutorial for free HERE.
This is the lil cutie pouch by Noodlehead which you can get the tutorial for HERE.
Last but not least, is this Buttercup bag that I made using the Made by Rae pattern HERE.
This is just a close up of the cool vintage-looking button that I found and the little pleat details that give this bag it's shape.
This may have been the first button I ever covered. I was so proud of myself!
I used different colored zippers just for fun. If you fear the zip, these projects are a great, low pressure, way to familiarize yourself with installing them.
I probably made these 2 or more years ago and just recently unearthed them at the bottom of another bag. I find that extra pouches/purses/bags become like nesting dolls and never seem to end when you start digging!
Those are so cute! I love that they look like you could use them with causal or dressy outfits. I used the buttercup pattern a while back too. Love it! And I can totally relate to the nesting doll bag situation. :)
