Handmade Envelope Clutch II Pin It
14 Nov

If you haven’t read the 1st post of handmade envelope clutch, here is the 2nd one. Hot finished with handy magnetic snap! I used canvas fabrics which gave the clutch a bit stiffness. For the previous experience, in order to make the clutch look thicker, I ironed interfaces for both wrong sides of the fabrics. Look, I carried it last Saturday with me when I went out for a quick hair cut.


Now available on Forest Girl design Etsy store.
Or see the directions below.

Here is the fun part for putting the fabric pieces together

Pink represents right side of the fabric, dots represent wrong side of the fabric.
Step1
Fold clutch piece to inside along marked FOLD LINES. Open one side again. First one diagonal seam as illustrated, ending at marked seam allowance on upper edge (arrow). Tie-off ends of seam.
Step2
Stitch second seam in same manner. Turn pointed end f allowance of center section down and press seams open (3).
Sew 2nd bag piece in same manner.
Step3
Slide one bad piece into the other, right sides facing. Pin upper edges together. Stitch edges of flap section together beginning and ending 1 1/4″ (3cm) from side folding line (arrows). leave remaining edge open for turning. Trim allowances on point narrowly. Trim bag right side out sliding one layer into the other, wrong sides facing.
Step4
Turn allowances on open upper bag edges to inside and baste. Pin fold edges together and sew together by hand, as invisibly as possible.
Sew UPPER SNAP HALF to inner side of flap (X) and sew lower snap half to outer side of clutch front, to match (x). Sew FLOWERS to outer side of flap, equally spaced.
