Girls' Night Out Clutch: Retro Glam

The clutch spree continues today with a retro glam approach.  It's so hard to pick a favorite, but there's something about this one... (my others are HERE, HERE, and HERE).



 I imagine my grandmother having a clutch like this, circa 1950's.

I lined it with a green sateen fabric.  I love the way the gold fabric reflects the lining color a bit.

And the pops of color - red, turquoise, purple, green and yellow - make this such a versatile fabric choice.

I'll show you my final take on Ruby's clutch tomorrow, and will have a special giveaway for you!

Girls' Night Out Clutch: Glitzy

For today's clutch (see my other ones HERE and HERE, I need some advice.  I found this fabric that, if you look closely, has flecks of metallic running through it.  

I sewed it up with the purple piping, thinking it would draw out the purple tones in the fabric.

It does make for a stark contrast, but...

...would gold have been better?  I think it looks more glitzy (read: '70's disco) with the gold, but not sure if the piping takes away from the subtle gold in the fabric.



Leave a comment and let me know what you think.  I'll count it as one entry into Friday's giveaway!
