Why You'll Love This Sewing Pattern

👜 Removable Wristlet Strap

Carry the clutch comfortably on your wrist and keep your hands free while you're out.

The slim flat base helps the bag sit neatly without easily tipping over.

🧵 Custom Interior Pockets

Learn a useful pocket technique that can also be applied to other bag sewing projects.

🔒 Neat Zipper Construction

Learn how to create clean zipper ends without adding traditional zipper tabs.

📐 Interesting Construction

The diagonal seam creates a distinctive look while eliminating the centre bottom seam.

📸 Photo Instructions

Clear step-by-step color photographs guide you through the construction process.

Beginner Plus Sewing Project
