To me, this orange vinyl clutch looks like a mod summer accessory that Hermes would design. I love how sleek and expensive it looks - straight seams and minimal stitching is the key.
Yesterday I showed you my fold-over clutch with contrasting top zipper (love them!) but do you remember the royal blue clutch that started it all last year? I carry it all the time and it still looks as good as the day I made it. Marine vinyl is a fabulous material to work with!
I had some orange material left over, so I made myself a little case that I can clip to my belt loop when I just want to run to the grocery store. It holds my iPhone and a Botanical Interests seed packet case that I use to hold my ID, Visa and $20.
I know, I say seed packet case as if that is a known commodity, right? It is just a little something that makes sense to me. Botanical Interests seed packets are beautiful, why wouldn't you up-cycle them into something for your purse?
I cover them in plastic tape and then sew on triangular vinyl flaps that I made. The perfect clasp is a circle of adhesive Velcro. They are where beautiful and interesting meet.

Marine vinyl, where have you been all my life? I have been on an almost obsessive sewing binge, making myself accessories out of marine vinyl. This glorious, sturdy and wipe-off-able material is available in large rolls at JoAnn Fabrics. I usually buy a yard and then make accessories until I run out.
By choosing a zipper in a contrasting color, you can really bring a bit of life to a classic silhouette.
