(vintage romper, river island feather headband)
I’ve been wanting an oversized clutch for a while now, especially since I laid eyes on that Celine clutch shot by Tommy Ton for style.com. Its minimalism is so beautiful. Then, I saw the Clare Vivier La Pochette on ofakind.com and instantly knew what my next DIY would be. I couldn’t decide what color fabric to choose, so... why not make 2? The steps are pretty simple and I probably could’ve made 10!! But alas… I restrained myself and settled on 2… I made one in cocoa brown leather and one in coral faux python. Excited to put these to good use throughout the coming spring season…

You've talked me into it ... I am going to try it! If I was going to use fabric would recommend linning it for a little extra structure or what?

*.* I'm in love with it!! As soon as my sewing machine is fixed I'm going to try this!! Even if I'm completely unable to do these beautiful things...
You are amazingly good!!
Aimee! I've been dying for a simple oversized clutch. You need an Etsy store so I can buy all of your DIYs since I'm just too busy to do any myself.
About the Leather Saddleback bag - it's very structured, heavy, and the leather doesn't give easily. I think I might have to throw it around a big more to break it in. I haven't seen any laptop bags but I'm sure you can make your own even better. =P
Posting the poncho soooooon.
So cool! There's no words!
Follow me? I'd be very happy if you do it!
Thank you so much!

Hi, can this be hand sewed? and exactly what type of vinyl do I need is it the one they used on the floor or what type of leather is it the same one for furniture?
rshcallender@yahoo.com
Hey, just wondering where you got the brown leather for your clutch, cant seem to find any ANYWHERE!!!!
amazing ideaaa!!!!
Great tutorial! Simple, clear, detailed = Perfect. xoxo!
It seems so simple to make, yours turned out great ! I will definitely be trying it sometime this week. :)
This would make such a cute laptop case! I'm going to make a case like this for my kindle! So adorable.

What a fabulous opportunity. Thanks to DL Envelopes and the folks at Dow Printing.
I just wanted to let you know I included this in my 2011 Ultimate DIY Gift Guide (101 tutorials/recipes)! :) http://danimariedesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/2011-ultimate-diy-gift-guide.html
These are beautiful!! One question: Did you use an industrial strength sewing machine to run the leather through? I am worried that my inexpensive brother sewing machine wouldn't be able to handle leather, but i'd love to make it!
So beautiful, definitely making one, but where do you get fake leather, and do you need a certain type of sewing machine, i don't want to break mine!
Thank you for the instructions :)
Great idea! I'm with some of the other readers! Where did you get the leather? Especially colored leather? I'm struggling to find a place that has it all!
