It's made of a purple-ish denim from JoAnn that I got forever ago, with the Premier Prints Zigzag in Ash in the middle. I lined it in Lizzy House's Illusion in Orange from 1001 Peeps.
I added interfacing and a layer of batting to give it some shape, and straight line quilted along the sides. The gussets were added to give it a little depth.A shiny black button on the front finished it off. It came together pretty quickly considering I had drawn up the pattern in Illustrator just 10 minutes before.
This little clutch will be headed off to my partner soon!
