HOW TO: MATCHING BAG
30th October 2012
Wondering what to do with that leftover fabric when you’re done making a skirt or dress? Why not make a matching clutch bag like I’ve done here, to wear on it’s own or as part of a sartorially forward thinking (or questionable) ensemble? Follow my instructions here on how to make a clutch bag, it’s as simple as one two three. Hola invisi-bag in the first picture – you can barely tell it’s there! Perfect for stashing your hipflash or other questionable necessities.
Wearing: Outfit 1 – DIY clutch, pink and white dress my own design, Coach watch, Plukka Glamorai ring. (I wore this outfit to The Sartorialist’s book launch in New York – a touch too much pink for downton me thinks…)
Outfit 2 – DIY clutch, DIY Proenza Schouler wrap skirt, thrifted black tee, DIY chain rings
What do you think? Is matchy-matchy too much or would you totally rock an invisi-bag?
love the gif! and omg the patterns are so cute!

actually really cute for matchy-matchy xo
It looks nice
How cute! I love this idea to use up leftover fabric… matching a clutch to your skirt is a perfect and an easy way to do the matching prints trend without going overboard.
Thanks for sharing this great DIY!

Hmm it’s totally something different and beautiful for a night out on the red carpet
(not that I would ever have such privilege, but that’s another story.)
good idea
Love it!!!!
lovely diy! lovely outfits!
this is beautiful and definitely not too much. I personally like the light blue one a little better.
By the way: where did you get those pretty thin rings? I love’em.

A great use of scrap fabric! They would be cute for packing gifts in for friends.
That is so cute, such an amazing idea! It makes the entire outfit seem much more high end.
