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.
