Cat Clutch

For all you cat lovers out there...I made this pattern for a cat clutch and put it all together; for making it from scratch, I honestly think it's pretty darn good lol, but opinions would be nice too :)
 It's a clutch, so it doesnt really hold a LOT but it can contain an appropriate amount.
I bought enough fabric to make about 10, so I think I'll alter the pattern a bit and make it fatter around the bottom to hold more.
Once I get it at a good size, and see if people are interested in buying them, then I might invest in getting the metal closures to it could look a bit more fancy ;)

Let me know what you think! Or if you wanna buy one, I'll be trying to put it on my Etsy shop once I take better looking pictures, but leave a comment or e-mail me in the meantime :)

Book / Bible Cover (with zipper!)

For last christmas I made my mom and my aunt bible covers with this pretty asian looking fabric. The fabric is an absolute pain to work with unless you do it right (which I dont know how to) but it came out great anyways!
Front Cover
I bought a pink zipper to go along with it and a really pretty closing hook at Jo Ann Fabrics.
Inside its blue and has pockets for the front and back covers of the book. I also put in a pocket for post it notes, a night light, a pen, and a highlighter!

Gear Shift Cover

I'm pretty sure I've searched everywhere for what these are called, but no luck whatsoever.
 
So I call them gear shift covers and am pretty happy with my little invention. I made it out of strips of fabric and elastic at the bottom. This one doesn't have any padding or grips inside (it doesnt really slip at all), but those can be added no problem :)

Accessorize your car ;)

Cosplay Gloves

I made these gloves for the Guy Gardner and Catwoman cosplay that were posted earlier on for Megacon. They look tiny but the fabric is super stretchy and I didnt want them to be too loose and annoying.

 
Catwoman's outfit has nails in the gloves but my friend had the nails on as acrylics, so we just cut holed at the fingertips.
And these were the Guy Gardner ones; again, they look tiny for a guy but theyre super stretchy.

 



Polka Dot Dress

I usually don't make things for myself because, well... I have no idea, but I rarely do. Anyhow, I made this on spare time in college and finished it up now that summer started! The ribbon isn't attached that way I can interchange it and have it match different outfits too. :)
 Soon after making this, I found this dress on Modcloth, it's nearly identical!

The dress on Modcloth is a little pricey, but it's beautiful either way. I still like mine better though ;) Its has a more defined sweetheart bodice and the skirt is very VERY flowy!
