This sewing pattern is for a structured, zipped clutch with a beautiful sumptuous bow on the front. The bow is not "stuck on", instead it's integrated into the body of the front panel. The fabric is pieced together and gathers up to form the bow, like a perfectly wrapped gift!
You can choose to make the standard length of bow as the black clutch pictured, or follow instructions to elongate it as the red clutch. The clutch is fully lined with a useful internal pocket & uses my easy method for inserting a professional-looking sunken/ hidden zip.
This design would suit wide variety of fabrics, including light-weight fabrics as the fabric is re-inforced with fusible interfacing. Duchess satin, cotton, denim, silks, brocade, lurex etc.
Sizing info:
The finished clutch will measure approx. 29cm (11 1/2") long x 14 cm (51/2") wide x 5cm (1 3/4") depth at the base. -a stylish, practical shape.
