finished clutch

I'm 99% finished with my first clutch bag!  I spent a frustrating few hours trying to clamp the vintage clasp around the fabric last night. It is finally staying put but I need to tighten it up a bit more.  I was thinking an anvil and small hammer should do the trick.

I've been on a role in the studio and should be done with another bag soon.  This one will be a fold over satchel made out of blue striped ticking with an awesome leather button from my mom's collection.  I can't believe how quickly I'm burning through the vintage materials I've gathered!  I'm gonna have to visit some antique stores this weekend... an activity I will never complain about :)
