Noodle-ing Along

Can you guess what this is the start of ?

How ’bout now ?

O.K., I won’t keep you guessing, but it’s probably not what you thought, right ?

If you’ve been here before you know I am a big fan of Noodle-Head aka, Anna Graham.

I’ve made several of her free tutorials and based on how well those went and my enjoyment of them I ordered her book, “Handmade Style”. The projects contained within do not disappoint ! I’d like to make them all… not today but eventually. Today I’m showing you my version of her Rainbow clutch pattern. The one above is using her paper pieced template for the front pocket.

For second one, I made a plain front pocket and had the presence of mind to add a d-ring before final assembly.

Here’s the back:

There are many ‘firsts’ in my sewing journey while making these cute clutches. The opening for the back pocket and using metal zippers to name only two. The front flap has a magnetic snap closure and I think this was the second time I had tried installing these – Anna’s directions are great !

If you’ve been wondering if my background for this photo shoot is custom made – you’d be right ! I will spare no expense for this blog !!!

Linking up with Amanda at CrazyMomQuilts for Finish it up Friday.

Thanks for having a look. Enjoy your weekend.
