Something I made: DIY handmade polka dots clutch

I must say lately I have a thing or two for polka dots, I have yellow polka dots, black and white polka dots, red polka dot... OK you get the idea I'm in love with polka dots.
I started with the idea of a cute dress on my red and white polka dots but my measurements were a bit off so to salvage my lovely remnant of fabric I came up with this cutie patootie.

Hello there!

My polka dot clutch
Can you see my crush on polka dots?

I took this brooch from a top I thrifted #score

There's more where that came from, one of them might even make it's way to you if you know what I'm saying ;)

  11. Thank you. Not at all you guys can ask me anything :)
    I use the thickest iron on interface I could find, i iron it into the lining and Viola. I'll admit this one was a bit too rigid, I might have to use a lighter one next time.

I think I might be able to handle making one of these pretty soon. I am a sucker for polka dots too.t I love mixing them up with nautical inspired stripes.
