I can’t believe my little sister, Han, went to her first prom. She looked gorgeous! My sister and her best-friend (My second little sister, Kay, also looked gorgeous!) asked me to make them clutch purses the Monday before prom. I never made them before, but said what the heck, I’ll give it a try. I based my pattern off of one that I found online. I used the silk shawl that went with my sister’s dress for fabric. Luckily, both of the girls’ dresses were made from the same material and were the same color. I was also lucky enough to find some zebra print fabric to go with Kay’s dress. After many long hours at my kitchen table, I had two clutch bags. I think I could have a done a better job if I didn’t have two tests that week and a paper… but I was pretty satisfied when it was all said and done. One thing I would do next time is make them a little bigger. The girls put so much stuff in them that they busted the snap, basically tearing it right off. (I guess it’s a little hard to go from carrying a suitcase to something a little bigger than your hand!) A picture of the clutch bags are below.
