The artsy clutch from Bend the Rules Sewing

I recently joined a workshop website called Creative Bug and have been browsing their video collection for some ideas and inspiration. I came across Hillary Williams Intro to Screen Printing and felt a tinge of guilt. You see, I have a whole ton of screen printing tools and inks but haven’t made the time to do anything with it!

So, no, I didn’t pull out the screen for this, but I did pull out some of the fabric inks I have and decided to let loose. I also “tried” to embellish this clutch with some stitched words. Not great, but completely unique and I think, with the works “Love You” on it, all imperfections should be forgiven!
