Modern Clutch, parts 2 and 3

Some time ago I showed you a little clutch I made myself from dupioni silk. At the time I also wanted to make similar bags for our two daughters, but finding dupioni silk here is a little difficult, and ordering it meant purchasing a much larger quantity than needed. However, while I was at the IQF Houston show last month, there was a vendor selling FQs of every imaginable shade of dupioni silk! The next problem, of course, was to determine which colors to purchase. I finally settled on a couple that I thought could go with a lot of colors, navy and medium grey, and I came home and ordered the necessary bag frames. Earlier this month I designed the monograms to be used and made the two bags, though I couldn’t show them until after the gifts had been opened. That finally happened yesterday, so here are the bags. The navy is embroidered in a silvery grey, while the grey bag is done in black. They were a big hit with our daughters! 🙂
