I made myself a purse from old suits and a friend asked me to make some smaller clutches for her shop.  As usual, I was up for the challenge.  I love the way they turned out.  They take some planning and a lot of seam ripping. It's better than therapy!

I have an old funky chair I've been planning to cover.  What do you think?
