Monochrome Monday

This Monday there's a bit of monochrome madness going on at Cheeky Leopard!
I recently created these two clutch bags using a selection of black and cream fabrics that I had in my collection. Each pattern is quite different to each other, but works well together and I spent time finding the right combination for each bag. This often involves laying out the pieces and playing Solitaire with them - moving them around and trying out different combinations. Sometimes I will leave them and walk away for a while, and then come back with a fresh eye. Once I'm happy with the combination, I sew each strip together and neatly top stitch each one to ensure it lies flat.
I added the Cheeky Leopard trademark of a bright lining to each bag for a pop of colour on the inside.

You can find both clutches in my store here.


The clutch pictured above and below is made from a selection of home furnishing fabrics and Japanese kimono fabrics pieced together. I love the delicate black and grey leaf design.
This bag has a vibrant purple lining.





The clutch above and below is made from black and cream home furnishing fabrics pieced together. I love the dramatic black swirly design on the cream taffeta. This bag has a hot pink lining.

Indian beauties

Here's a sneak peek at some Indian beauties I finished last Friday.
They are three large clutch bags made from stunning Indian sari fabrics that I bought in Pune a while ago when we went there for a friend's wedding. I was drawn to the vibrant colours and metallic motifs and, in true Cheeky Leopard fashion, each clutch has a vibrant lining for a flash of colour when the bag is opened.

I'm afraid this is just a preview. The bags will be uploaded onto my store in the next few days.
Please contact me if you are interested in any of the bags before then.


You can see the bags on my stall at the Summer Shopping event below.

Mini me

I recently created two more mini clutches for my collection and realised that they were actually 'mini me' versions of some larger ones I made a while ago. Now you have the choice of the mother or the baby! Either way, they make a stunning statement.

You can find the large ones here and the small ones here.
