Arch Clutch REVIEW by The Fabric Store
The Fabric Store have made not one but two Arch Clutches; one in leather and another in corduroy! They've kindly put together their thoughts on the pattern on the journal. Here is a snippet of what they had to say...
Try This Project | Clo Bias Skirt

Try This Project | Wilder Gown-Top
I started with the intention of making the dress version but wasn’t sure if this pattern would swamp me, being a petite sewist. I've also been sewing down the stash lately and had just enough of this fabric, so a blouse version of the pattern made perfect sense.
