All in One Diaper Clutch and Changing Pad by Cluck Cluck Sew {Fabric Envy}



Oh I've got a fun share for all of you. Feast your eyes on my new, adorable diaper clutch!  I don't know about you but I was sick and tired of diggin' around in my disorganized purse to find diapers and wipes. I carry a big bag, the Amy Butler Birdie Sling to be exact and with it's deep center and all my stuff "way too much crap in my purse junk" it was time I get organized. So where did I turn to for guidance and direction, Google of course! I wanted a stylish Diaper Clutch that would hold my diapers, wipes, and serve as a changing pad too, and what-do-ya-know I found the perfect free tutorial over on Cluck, Cluck, Sew.



I changed it up slightly by using a laminate fabric instead of minky on the inside so that if my little makes a mess I can wipe it clean. If you've never sewn with laminates before you'll probably want to use a walking foot. Without a walking foot they tend to stick a bit in your machine.  It can be done without a walking foot, but trust me it's much, much easier with one.  I also added a size 60 cover button to the front of the clutch--for cuteness of course!

I used the following fabrics all available in my shop: www.fabricenvy.com

Clutch Exterior: 1/2 yard of Wallflowers in Dusk from the Secret Garden collection by the talented Sandi Henderson

Clutch Interior: 1/2 yard of  Indian Big Dot in Cream from the Indian Summer collection by Zoe Pearn

That's it! From start to finish it only took me 40 minutes with plenty of distractions. This project is so simple it's perfect for the beginner. You can snag the full tutorial over on Allison website www.CluckCluckSew.com, or click here. If you like Allison's style I've got lots of Cluck Cluck Sew patterns for sale in my shop too.

Now I can finally reach into my bag and pull out a cute and practical case for my baby changin' needs.
Thank you, thank you Allison!

Curio by Basic Grey Giveaway at Fabric Envy!

Giveaway now closed. Come back soon to see what our next giveaway has to offer!
In honor of National Craft Month we're doing a giveaway each week. Last week's winner, Maureen, won two fabulous Fat Quarter Bundles from the Hello Luscious and Freshcut collections. This week's giveaway is for a Curio Charm Pack and the gorgeous Basic Grey Polished Blossom in Buttercup. I love the antique charm of the Curio collection and can envision a million possibilities for the flower.

I reserved a Layer Cake for myself when I purchased the collection. Finally after months of waiting for some time I cut into it this weekend. I said I had "some time", which really means a "very little bit" of time, so I opted to use the  Easy Bake pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew. It is a super quick pattern and would make a great first quilt for beginners. Here's a picture of one of my blocks.



Now it's your chance to win a little Curio

Free Apron Tutorial from Amy ♥'s it, featured on Fabric Envy

Do you remember this cute Apron?  I showed it off in a post a few months back.  I just can't get over how perfectly adorable this print combo is. She used Michael Miller's Ta Dot in Fuschia and Anna Maria Horner's Clippings from the Loulouthi collection.

Of course behind every cute sewing project is an uber cute designer and my dear friend Amy is just that!  She's just getting her own blog off the ground and has decided to list her instructions for making this very flattering and functional apron. Thank you Amy!
