Wool Clutch bag, Butt 5576
This clutch bag is made from Butterick 5576 out of felted wool from a Geiger inspired jacket I made back in the 80s. Once the pewter buttons were removed and the lining cut out it was thrown into a hot, soapy machine wash and then a hot dryer. As you see the jacket above, it could probably fit my 6 year old grandaughter.
I wanted a flower of some sort, not the bow pictured in the pattern. Some Google searching brought up myriad options but I settled on this cute method that was quite easy to do. One dated jacket is now one updated whimsical little clutch that I love.

Very nice! (Now to have a jacket to go with it .) The lining is very pretty too. Please tell, what is the cute method for the flower construction called? Thank you.
Yes, I'm curious as to the flower pattern. Very nice recycling.
I show how to do the flowers on my blog, http://lasewist.blogspot.com/2011/08/felted-wool-flowers.html
They are very easy and quick to make and anyone can do them.
The lining is a poly brocade from Joanns. Thanks for the lovely comments.
