NCW SAL wrap-up and winner!
I had so much fun watching everyone’s NCW progress on Facebook and Instagram! Thank you to everyone who joined in. I really loved seeing all the variations: some people added straps, piping, back pockets, etc. It lends to the pattern how great it is that it can be adapted so easily to suit everyone’s needs.
Here’s mine. I used Sweet as Honey by Bonnie Christine for Art Gallery, and the turn lock from Emmaline Bags. I used Lisa’s interfacing suggestions with Pellon Shapeflex 101, Craft Fuse 808, and Peltex 70. I really love the firmness, and all the pockets: there’s a spot for everything!
Here are a few pictures from participants before I get to the winner:

Michelle from Barabooboo Designs has done it again! She never ceases to amaze me with her gorgeous work. A wonderful fussy cut flap, and I love the triple top-stitch instead of the additional border piece. What a nice touch!

Cathy at Creations By Cathy makes such lovely NCWs and I’ve recommended her work to others when they’re looking for one. She added a tab between the divider and pocket, and an extra back pocket too. Another beautiful job Cathy!

This is Evette’s first Necessary Clutch Wallet and I’m blown away! Look at the matching on the flap! Amazing!

Nanette sent in these pictures of one she made for her daughter who raises chickens. How perfect is that?! I love the addition of piping.

Jessica at Jess Lynn Designs also made one and I love it! The vibrant colour combo is so refreshing!

Fiona from Tangled Blossoms Design made six!!! Here are a couple of her beauties. She used a combination of Jennifer Paganelli and cork. They’re all stunning.

Winner!
I’m so glad this was a random contest, because it would have been too hard to pick “the best” one. They are all so great! With the help of Random.org, I came up with Kimberly T. as the winner of the credit at Emmaline Bags. Congratulations Kimberly, and thank you everyone for sewing with us! I’d also like to extend a special thank you to Janelle at Emmaline Bags for offering the pattern discount and prize.

I’ll be announcing another Sew-Along this week, so clear your cutting table and get ready to join me again.
