DIY Clutch Purse Inspiration and Tutorials

Do you love clutch purses?  I've made all types of clutch purses in different sizes, shapes, colors to organize stuff in my craft area and also to keep my massive makeup collection under control.

I ran into the SweetyHigh blog while surfing the internet and found that Shawna must love clutch purses as much as I do.  She wrote a blog post on clutch purse tutorials she has found through her travels on the internet.

Denim Jeans Mini Purse

What a cute little mini purse or belt pouch made from denim jeans legs!

French Mood Purse

The fabric embellishment on this "French Mood" purse is so beautiful, I had to feature it for future inspiration for myself and other sewers who love to create new fabric from scraps and those who love to create unique purses.

DIY Jeweled Clear Clutch

How cute is this blingy clutch??  I love it!!

When I first saw this jeweled beauty, I thought that it would make a very cute case for a laptop, notebook, Kindle, etc.  Seems like it would be easy to change the pattern in Naoko Asano's tutorial.

I love bling so much and especially love the jeweled piece!

Crocheted Denim Rag Bag

I love the idea of crocheting strips of denim, not only for this project, but for so many other projects.

Back in the day when I had a boutique, I would barter merchandise with my customers for their old jeans because of their versatility.  Being the pack rat that I am, I still have tubs and tubs of denim in my storage room waiting for me to be creative again.  So I am always looking for cool and unusual projects to keep in mind for the future when I finally get my craft room organized.

My idea would be to make the strips of denim crocheted into "fabric" so they are ready for future projects.

Several projects come to mind . . . rugs, pillows, applique for clothing, fabric for a jacket, blankets, hats . . . as well as purses . . . I could continue thinking and coming up with more and more projects!

T-Shirt Bag

Don't we all have an over-abundance of T-shirts?

Refashion them!

There are bags and boxes of T-shirts hanging around

the house, taking up space, that have been waiting

for a project.  They were destined for a memory quit,

 but I really love these bags made out of T-shirts.

Pleated Tote

Can a woman have too many purses or totes?

I don't think so!

Create your own tote wardrobe to match your

outfits . . . I also love the possibilities for using

the tote for home organizing, like storing socks.

How about an awesome beach bag?

Cool stuff to make!

Jeans Bags are timeless, inexpensive and so easy

to make . . . they also make awesome gifts.
