A Netbook cover or a clutch

I was torn between making a clutch or a netbook cover for my cuzz's birthday present. It started off with a netbook cover and towards the end, as I was finishing the cover and deciding the placement of the button, an idea struck me, I could make it as a two in one thing and let her decide. By just adding another female part of the snap at the bottom, Wallah! it transform into a clutch! At least if the size is too small for the netbook, she can still use it as a giant pencil case for class :)

I also made my own label with iron on transfer. I kirim kat Azrai to get the iron on transfer papers yesterday and was toying with different designs until 3am last night. Talk about creativity surge. The initials on the cover/clutch is also printed on. I haven't got one of those expensive embroidery machine yet so I have lemon, I make lemonades. Make do with what I have.



Now, I'm putting my snap-press into good use. I haven't made any CD which was the first reason why I bought it. I got it from Tiny Tapir. Very easy to use. Just love them. For now, I have to clear the mess I made today, put my sewing machine aside and start dinner before my CEO comes home. Stay tune for my next project!
