I have been working on this new organizer/ wallet/ purse/ clutch for the last week.
I really went back and forth on the front and I ended up with this that looks a lot like Noodlehead's gathered clutch. In spite of feeling like a copy cat, I still think it turned out cute.
Now flip it over and I have a nice big pocket to keep my change and chap stick...
Here is my favorite outside part before we open...
Isn't that pretty? That's the top. When you open you get a wallet, notebook, & organizer.
Sorry you have to see my coupon mess but I love me some coupons. I keep hoping I will get organized enough to use them up.
I am wondering if this should be my whole purse, like a clutch? Or just go in my purse? Maybe I should add a strap? Pretty cute and I am hoping it will hold all my stuff AND keep me more organized.
This is fantastic!

1) USAA rox ;) 2) I like to change my purses every few months so not having a strap would make it so I would just put the whole thing in a purse (if it would fit) BUT it is a cute purse, so my idea ;) is a removable strap. What's my prize? :P

Wow - that is AMAZING. I really liked the pictures of it right off, and I thought, So Cute... THEN - you opened it and showed the insides = AMAZING!! If it were me, add a nice long skinny strap, and go! Wowza - great job!

OH, pattern please. please, please!!! My daughter made me a large tote for Christmas (shh, don't tell her but it's kind of an awkward size but since she is 12, I will carry it until the last stitch falls apart!) but this clutch would be perfect for being able to organize inside the bag! It's lovely!

Lovely! I like the idea of adding a strap - maybe detachable?

Oh I love this! So happy I discovered your blog!

OH I AM IN LOVE! OH PLEASE give us the pattern for this?? I think I'd put it inside my own purse but, there are times it would be great to take on its own without having to take my purse with. I think a loop and detatchable strap would be awesome.
