Today’s stop on our Ahoy! Mermaids Project Tour takes us to CLOVER & VIOLET, where Jennie is sharing the cutest Chloe Messenger Bags featuring fabric from the Ahoy! Mermaids collection by Melissa Mortenson.

Jennie paired the earthy, textured cork with the bright nautical-themed mermaid fabric for a match made in heaven. We love how she fussy cut and appliquéd the mermaids directly onto the flap. Such an easy, fun idea!

Jennie lined her bags with the popular Whales print. The darker tone-on-tone color is the perfect choice for a bag lining. Jennie has a pattern in the works for this bag — we can’t wait! Hop on over to Jennie’s BLOG for photos and details, and be sure to follow her on Instagram @cloverandviolet for more fun project ideas and inspiration.
