This is the
Clutch Me Tight Bag by Daywalker Customs. I enjoyed testing this bag recently and the pdf and video version is now for sale.
The pattern calls for a chain strap, but I didn't have a chain so I decided to make a Kumihimo strap. Kumihimo is the art of Japanese braiding. I used a variegated yarn that went with the colors in the bag.
I have some fabric with Mandala Circles and I thought this would be a perfect place to show one off on this bag flap and it was! I love the flap. The bag was easy to put together and I even made a second one, only I enlarged the second one to 120%, which I will show you in a day or so.
This is a perfect minimalist style bag as it's not too large, but still has pockets inside to keep smaller items in.
Bag measures 8" wide x 6 1/2" high x 2" deep.

WOW, what an impact that mandala fabric has in that purse. you chose your fabrics so well, it looks amazing. i know how long kumihimo takes to make especially with threads, great job and nice choice for a handle. how is it to sew in? wonderful job all around.

Beautiful, beautiful bag!
ReplyDeleteI had a bit of a chuckle with the picture of the pen holding the bag open. But, it gave me a perfect idea of how big the bag actually is! Lovely!
