Handmade Christmas: Pleated Clutch

After sewing all those zipper bags I thought I'd mix it up - not yet tired of zippers, I found a pattern for a gathered clutch at Noodlehead. I used wool suiting for the outside and yellow cotton for the liner, and zippy red zipper (plastic). It was generally pretty easy to pull together on the sewing machine, though if I make it again I think I'll add a hand loop.

It's just the right size for a chocolate bar.
