Le Challenge X - The Nora Clutch by Heidi Staples at Fabric Mutt

When I read the theme for this month's Le Challenge was X, the first thing I thought of was Maths. It was the perfect theme because not so long ago I won some fabric from Quilt Taffy and couldn't resist getting a charm pack of Elementary by Sweetwater for Moda too. You must have seen this collection, it's so fun! I couldn't wait to use it.

When I was choosing (a loooong time ago!) which University to go to, I was very tempted to study Maths. I have always liked Maths, I suppose it has to do with my Mum. She has a degree in Maths. In the end I studied Architecture... About coincidences, a couple of days ago it was my Mum's birthday. For her birthday she asked my Dad for a tablet (!). During the Zakka Along 2.0 I had made her a kindle pouch and I see she uses it all the time, so I thought I'd make her a tablet pouch too.

It's a long time I've been admiring Heidi Staples' "The Nora Clutch". I know it's not for tablets but I thought that you could use it in two different ways, depending on what you need it for. A clutch when you don't need a big handbag. You open up the clutch and, voilà, you can use it as a tablet pouch, when you want to take your tablet around with you. Fancy and very useful!

So here's my Mum's handmade present and... she likes it! Success. A lovely pattern that looks great with all sorts of different fabrics/colours. Thank you Heidi for the very clear tutorial!
