Taking inspiration from the styles of the early 1930s, this sewing pattern is for a delightful vintage-style clutch bag with a stylized asymmetrical flap and bow, popular in the decade. The bag is of easy flat construction with squared-off corners to form a narrow base. It has an unusually shaped flap and off-centre bow, trimmed with a flourish of three small vintage buttons, all in Charlie’s Aunt signature style.
This bag is slightly bigger than our Dorothy Clutch Bag and is ideal for weddings, evening functions and other special occasions. It can be made up in everything from rich cotton corduroy to woollens and patchwork fabrics.
