すっかり人にあげるのに定番となりつつある「クレマチス」という名前のポーチをまた(1回目は茶色のタータンチェックで、2回目は青のタータンチェックで)作りました。
ハンドメイドって書いてある金具をまとめて買ったので(中国から送られてくるからさ、1か月ぐらい待つのよ、届くまで)つけてみました。
メインの布は、この前タートルネックを作ったケーブル柄にキルトされてるニット生地です。このコンビ、とても私の胸をつらぬいてくれるので、もう一つ自分用に作りたいかも。
Blue Calla's Clematis Wristlet has become my go-to pattern for a small handmade gift. (I have made a brown one and a blue one before.) I really like the pattern and I really like making it.
This time, I used the quilted knit I used for my Simplicity 8738 dropped shoulder turtle sweater. As I mentioned in that post, the fabric was kind of special to me because I bought it at the Knitting & Stitching Show in London, so I could not throw away any bits of the leftover fabric. Clematis uses very little fabric for the main part of the exterior body, so this was a perfect project.
The accent part and the strap is a textured vinyl in pearlescent pink.
The lining fabric was a pink colorway fat quarter bundle from Art Gallery.
I bought a bunch of "handmade" metal labels and they had just arrived in time, so it made it onto the Clematis. I really like the whole look and I might have to just make one more for myself.
