Yesterday I saw my chance and I grabbed it. The studio computer was at the computer doctor (very timely, on my one child-free day in a week when I have half a ton of patternmaking and instructions to do... couldn't work on anything at all). So all I could do was SEW.... what a shame, huh?
This is my Baguette pattern - made as a clutch.
The main fabric is from the Al Fresco range by Marcus Fabrics, and I think the other is a Baum Wyndham "Rhapsody" print (but don't quote me on that!). So.... where's that convertible I was talking about...?
It becomes a handbag with a clip-on chain! I used small swivel hooks and silver nickel purse chain. Easy-peasy.But that is not all... Oh no, that is not all I can do, said the cat! (Ok, I read too many Dr Suess books!).
It can also be a wristlet with a clip-on strap.How...? I'm going to write a tutorial for this and a few other tricks I photographed while making this bag.
Stay tuned.... (I also have to write some instructions and do a spot of patternmaking...).

I love a multifunctional bag! Fabulouso idea.
Brilliant!
love that fabric colour and that chain looks great...have a fab easter break
Adorable! Great colors - and design!
Ohhh my Myers-Briggs indicates that I like to change my mind, so this bag would suit me to a 'T'. I love it!
What a neat way to add versatility!
I'm totally digging those fabrics, too!
It was most likely intentional Nikki but your placement of the green petaled flower on the left there looks great! I thought it was a flower brooch at first! Love the versatility of this bag. Good work.
I love it Nikki. I love the fact that you have added bits to it to make it 3 bags/purses in one!
Just beautiful! You are just so clever and talented.
mmmm... those fabrics are so yummy together....
