I instantly laughed and said "Curtains". She set me straight by standing the bolt up and draping the fabric over me. How it's meant to be done I guess. :)Lightning McStitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955101913822685967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8161170775588638867.post-42263965985073804022016-02-06T21:51:02.333+11:002016-02-06T21:51:02.333+11:00Yes, you should have come!

I really enjoyed making the clutch but I'm disappointed it didn't work as neatly as I'd envisaged it (imagination way ahead of my skill level there). Next time I'm either getting thinner leather, or taking longer about it and using an overnight press in a vice to flatten every seam!
