Some leftover pieces to use

Having cut more motifs than I realised I used them up in an evening clutch bag:

clutch flap

The clutch is made from silk dupion with more lacework cutaway in chiffon on top.

The part I had the most fun with was actually the front under the flap where I did dense free stitching in variegated thread over the silk leaving the motif shapes untouched - ie stitching the negative space.

I reckon that technique would look great in a contrasting colour on felt so that the shapes would "bounce out" but I like the subtlety here.
