Week 4 - Project 7: Envelope Clutch. In this project I learn how to do a gusset, and reinforcing the concept of two-point symmetry. I design the flap (the bird head and beak with the snap button as the eye) but using the basic pattern of gusseted envelope clutch by Ms. @beatriceamblard Only after the project is done do I realize that I have created two birds in essence: The one when it is closed (the purple bird) and the one when it is open (the red bird.) There are two challenges I face in this project: Stitching through four layers with only half of them pricked. If you look closely, the stitching on the gusset looks horrible, marking the first time ever that my back stitching sucks big time. And the other challenge is finishing the edges. Yet it is one more building block toward making the eventual goal of mine: A tote bag!π§΅ . . . . . . . #maroquinerie #leather #saddlestitch #envelopeclutch #twopointsymmetry #gusset #gussetedclutch @amblardleatheratelier (at Amblard Leather Atelier) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9e8FPKFUPjIiNxvkjVtNYZWSskdHmJiJ0M3fo0/?igshid=nlpq2yfm5exb
