You may have noticed that I updated my etsy shop.  Besides PDF sewing patterns, I am offering a few handmade items.  This past week I listed several clutch bags.  They are fashioned in the classic zipper foldover style.   Several months ago, a dear friend called and told me that she was moving to Washington, DC for a new job.  And, would I like to buy her considerable inventory of high-end decorator fabric.  (Well, of course I would! )  It took me a few trips back and forth to get it all home then a week or two to catalogue and organize it.  

Months later, I am finally putting it to good use.  These purses are just a sampling of the great fabrics that are in my collection.  More styles and options to come.  

I have been busy working on yet another sewing pattern.  The Aster Foldover Clutch.  Yes, the very same clutch that I am offering readymade.  Next week, I hope to have an e-book, step-by-step sewing pattern ready for testing.  The full pattern will be offered for sale as a PDF download in my etsy shop.  Don't worry, the pattern is written as a teaching pattern with step-by-step colored pictures and text.  

Would you be interested in being a pattern tester?
