The Statement Clutch: One Thimble Issue 9

The Statement Clutch - Two Pretty Poppets - One Thimble Issue 9

It's 2016 and what better way to start the year than a One Thimble blog hop? Let's face it, it just wouldn't be me if I didn't join in.

One Thimble Issue 9 Out Now

This issue of One Thimble was filled to the brim with some fantastic patterns and normally, when I sign up to the blog hop, I am happy to sew anything at all. This time however, I was determined to sew the latest pattern from my big girl designer crush, Two Pretty Poppets. I know, I know...again!!!

The Statement Clutch is such a brilliant project. It's cute, it's classy, it's easy, it's fun...and you learn all the best swear words if you've never installed a twist lock before. Don't let that put you off though. Once you've done one you'll be twist locking everything you can get your hands on. They're seriously cool to play with and definitely worth the effort. Emmaline Bags has a great tutorial.

You don't need oodles of fabric either, which is fantastic if you're trying to sew from your stash as I have been. Each of these used scraps or fat quarters. Pretty sweet.

This was my favourite scrap...
Denim and Red
...and inside is my favourite combo: Denim and Red with white spots
The pattern comes with a standard pocket, but I added a zip pocket for hiding all of my important secrets (ok, ok...chocolate).

My first attempt was a very awesome circuit board pattern. Want to know why it looks a little worn? You're about to find out...

...apparently they make great pencil cases (according to my four year old).
Great as pencil cases too
They're great for storing all of the important things in life
The gorgeous hardware you see on my clutches is from the lovely Kylie at Handbag Hardware Australia. She even makes it easy for you and has a pre-packaged kit so you don't have to worry about whether or not you ordered the right parts.

It's official...I'm addicted.

Don't forget to visit these other great bloggers during the week to see the One Thimble awesomeness they've been up to.

    1. Thanks Lauren xx I'm not normally a clutch person, but I love these. I used one on the plane and it was the perfect size for putting in the seat pocket and having my purse etc within easy reach.

    1. Thanks : ) I have a few more planned in my head too hahaha. It's just a quick pattern to sew and I love that it's actually a practical, usable size (I made the small). It fits my purse, phone, keys etc so great when I don't want to lug a bag with me.

  9. تعتمد شركة انجزني لنقل الاثاث اعتماد كلي علي ونش رفع اثاث  في مرحلة انزال او رفع العفش نظرا لاهميتة الكبري في النقل , قديما كان العفش يتعرض الي الكسور ولخدوش نتيجة انزاله من سلالم البيت الضيقة وكان الامر يستغرق وقت طويل اما الان ففي دقائق يكون كل شئ تم ويتم تحميله العفش بسرعه جدا.
