Custom leather clutch

A while ago, a friend asked if I could make a clutch that somehow incorporated a acrylic earring she had. It took a bit to work out how to attach the piece, but I'm quite please with how it turned out. After 3 broken needles, I'm glad all my appendages are intact.

It was a lot of trial and error putting it together, and I couldn't quite decide on the material.

 

Lambskin, embossed leather, magnetic closure.

A Shrinky Dinks experiment

Turned out to be quite a success!

iPad leather case

The title kinda says it all. 

With button stud closure, lined and padded with fleece. 

Question is, do you see a mustache or 2 whales kissing...... 

Leather business card holder

I particularly love this piece of leather and it's distressed, croc skin look. Like, could stare and run my fingers along it's smooth skin all day kinda love. Okkindacreepy. 

Trying to make the piece last as long as possible, I can't bear to cut into it anymore......

Cannot get enough of making bracelets.

If you haven't been to this bible of DIY, you've been living under a store-bought rock. Honestly. (see what i did there)

Spoils from Hong Kong

I love the smell of leather and the gleam of hardware. 

Gearing up for some serious dates with my sewing machine.

Pretty bows all in a row

Top: Sharpie-drawn bow necklace. Print look familiar? 

I must admit though, I've only worn the multicoloured one once for a christmas house party. I'm not secure enough to parade it down the streets (although a parade is where it probably should belong).
