The Slouchy Summer Clutch

What does your summer wardrobe need? The perfect accessory? Maybe a bag that fits many occasions? Well, that is what The Slouchy Summer Clutch is here to do.

Fold it up as an oversized clutch for a night on the town. Unfold it, throw a book and a towel in it and then hit the beach. You might as well call it a "one size fits all" bag.

This bag has been a real labor of love, trying so many different styles just to find the perfect one and I think I have finally found it. Now if it would just quit raining long enough so that I could really put it to good use.

Want to know what else this bag is perfect for? A project bag! (See photo below) It will hold 2-3 skeins of yarn plus an almost finished project easily. How fun would it be to make your own project bag?

Want to know a little secret? This bag is part of a summer blog hop. Twelve designers got together and decided to post a new summer project on their blog every day for 12 days straight. Claire, from E'Claire Maker then took all of our designs and created a fabulous Summer Pattern Bundle that you don't want to miss out on. The bundle will only run for as long as the blog hop so you don't want to waste any more time. You can find it here.
