Learned a new skill
 

I took my buttonhole foot out of the plastic wrapper today and tried it for the very time, thank God for scrap fabric......Once I figured it out it worked very well. I have had some cork fabric that I have been wanting to experiment with, I tried a simple clutch yesterday, and finished it today, I now have a few more planned, going to add inside pockets to my next one and focus more on my stitching on the edge instead of just zigzagging it. Maybe try a serpentine or decorative stitch.

Congrats on your success! They just take a practice or two first. I write down my settings and keep them on a card for next time. Another tip is to add a piece of iron-on stabilizer to the back of the fabric. I usually just cut it about 1/2 inch bigger than the button hole.

Congrats again. Love the bag!

Congrats! Always nice to be able to make a buttonhole!

I just figured out my buttonhole attachment myself the other day after 15?? years, lol! Great feeling of accomplishment isn't it?

Love your little clutch!

Congratulations on your new skill! This is a very pretty clutch for a first time effort. I hope you are so proud of yourself. Your efforts show a natural talent for making a nice bag. I love your fabric choice too. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely fabric!! And congratulations on adding a new technique to your repetoire!

That looks great!! I bet you'll be on a roll!

Very nice clutch and buttonhole.
