Do you love to give Valentines? I know I do. But I also like to give a little something that lasts. More than just candy or flowers. I decided to post what I make all week. A full week of tutorials, not all by me, but all cute, easy and perfect for your Valentine.
First off, Anna of Noodleheads gathered clutch tutorial. I'm sure you've seen this, but felt it was worth mentioning again because it's so darn cute! Here's how I changed it (I can never leave anything alone!): I added the little strap, gathered both the front and back and made that panel 16 x 6 so that it would have a little more gather and the 6 is so I could cut off a little extra in case it got wonky, which it did! I always have a little wonkiness when I gather.
This is for my 10 year old niece. I will fill it with art supplies as she loves to craft! I'll claim that trait.
Love is patient, love is kind. 1 Corinthians 13:4
Love,
xoxo

That clutch is so cute and perfect for girls of all ages :) :) How adorable is that!!! You could make them themed for any occasion. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)
Love the clutch! I just made this for the first time a month ago, with the same tutorial. I love the fabrics you chose :)
Yeah! Thanks for putting this together!
Wow that is gorgeous, I have been meaning to make one of those for a while but it hasn't happened yet!
I have been thinking about making one of those for awhile! I should just do it!
If only I could sew! What a fab gift for girls!
Cute bag!
I love the material you used! Lucky niece!
Very cute! We all know little girls need someplace to store 8 lip glosses.
thanks!
very cute! I might need to try this with some of my "scraps"
I love making these little wristlets...you can never have enough little pouches!!

I'd like to make one of these too. But not till my new cabinets get here and installed. I love February because it's all about "love."
What a lovely pouch! What a lucky girl to have a creative aunt like you :)
Cute little clutch, I hadn't seen that before, but think I'll be trying it soon. I'm looking for some good use-the-stash projects and these would make great gifts for my daughter and friends.
This is so sweet, thanks for all the ideas. My daughter loves little purses of all sorts.
It's beautiful - Love your fabric choices!
That's cute! Thanks for sharing all of these great tutorials!!
Cute, cute cute!
