I'm heading off to a 21st tonight, so I decided after dinner lastnight that I should probably make a gift.
I don't really have any idea what a 21 year old would like (which is a sure sign that I'm getting really old)!
I did a little bit of blog surfing for inspiration and came across this Noodlehead Tutorial via Whip Up.
I didn't follow the complete tutorial as I need to whip up something really quickly, but I followed the instructions for the gathered front and back (substituting twill tape for the fabric band as I needed something plain).
Once I had the front and back sections ready, I just sewed it as a normal zippered pouch, also adding a D-ring at the side, so that I could attach a little detachable hand strap.
I'm also popping a little matching gadget pouch inside...
Fingers crossed that the birthday girl likes them!

You have done well! I am sure the Birthday girl will love it, (you can never have too many purses or bags, the detachable strap is just adorable too!
Cute--I have 21 one year old's running around my house and I think they would approve. I bought some zipper by the yard today. I will have to try one out.

jackpot I reckon!
Absolutely love it - I am sure she will too. Let us know what she thinks!!!
So cute!! Wish I was turning 21 : )
We so think alike, I printed that tutorial off last night! Great minds teehee. It looks great, I'm sure they'll love it (I would have as a 21 yr old, I think, hard to remember back that far!)
How could she not like them? Fabulous gift!
I Think it's a Winner.!!
cheers
I love the gathers!
She'll love it!
Very cute, I am sure she will love it!
Oh to be 21 again...

Great colour and love the little pouch...Very handy...
Uh, Cam, I'm 21.....don't tell anyone!
She'll love it, trust me!
These are great Cam, I love the fact they are a set ! Just need a bigger bag to go with and what an awesome gift for another occaission!
She will love it!
Very nice. I am sure the 21 year old will love it. Who wouldn't, it's cute!
If shes into clubbing or pubbing she will love it, I have like 7 little bags similar to this perfect for phone, Id, key to get in when you get home and some money :D
Definitely a sign of getting old, happens to me all the time. I've also realised that The Bloke and I often refer to what 'the young people' are watching/listening to - another sure sign we're getting old!!!
LOVE the clutch, if the 21yo doesn't love it, send it my way...I'll even take it clubbing if I have to! (And if I can remember where the 'club' is!)
Cam, I am sure she will love it...great print too
The clutch looks beautiful - that's such a lovely print. What a lucky birthday girl!
21, nothing. I want that for ME!! Gonna have to click through for the tut; pretty sure I have some perfect fabric buried somewhere! :p
