love this sewing thing!

I have not yet taken that sewing class, but I couldn't help myself, I had to try the gathered clutch from Noodlehead. I also really wanted to give it to my brother's girlfriend for her birthday, so sewing class or not, I was determined to make that clutch. The main area of difficulty for me is sewing up to the top of the clutch where it meets with the zipper end pieces. It took a couple of redos to get it close to right. 

So, I did have to use the seam ripper multiple times, and I do have room for improvement, that's for sure! Hopefully the next one that I make will be much easier now that I know more about what I am doing.
