Grab And Go Cork Clutches...

Brynwood Needleworks - Grab And Go Cork Clutches - Front and Back
 
I worked on another Christmas gift project yesterday. I'm making simple cork clutches in various colors of cork fabric. Theses are two I made in natural cork. The labeled side is actually the back of the clutch, and the fronts are plain.

  
Brynwood Needleworks - Grab and Go Cork Clutches Interior and Detail
 
The interior is a gold print fabric. These zippers are really neat. They look like metal, but they're plastic. I always seem to catch my nails on metal zippers, so I'm no fan, but these plastic ones are my favorite. The hardware is antique brass.

The next ones I make are going to have fabric combinations on the exterior, too, but there will be more that are all cork - but in different colors. I'll show you those when I finish them.
 
These are my own pattern, and they work up quickly. They measure 8.5" wide by 6" tall, with plenty of space for an iPhone 6 Plus (or smaller phones, of course) along with any other essentials. The wrist strap is attached with a clasp, so it can be removed, too. 
 
I think they'll be just right to "grab and go", and they'll make nice gifts for a few special people on my list. (I'll be adding some to my shop when I reopen in the new year, too!)

  2. This cork fabric really intrigues me. I have not seen it in person but it looks amazing in your newest clutches. I am a total fan of anything that holds other things. Great gifts. Your workmanship is perfection dear. Jingle Bell Joy...
