Merinque Clutch

Here is my  Merinque Clutch by Sara Lawson in the book "Big-City Bags".

This is a clutch but I've been using it for a makeup bag. It works great for that. I can just grab it and go when we go camping. It only took me one weekend to make this bag. The hardest part is gathering the ruffle strings, but it ended up working out pretty well. I used an Amy Butler print and Kona solid. Maybe I'll make another one down the road to actually use as a clutch purse.

I want to make more bags from this awesome book, but I never have enough time. Too many quilts, etc in the works.
