A new clutch

August 16, 2015

Our friend turned 40 yesterday, so a bunch of us went on a brewery crawl (her husband rented a bus for us, thank goodness!).  The kids were out of town all week at their aunt and uncle’s farm, so I had some time to sew up something to wear!  I will go into details of the drafting of my pants and top (though, the top was pretty simple) in a later post.  Here it is all about my cute little clutch.

The dimensions on the pattern pieces were 9.5″ x 11″ for the outside and 9.5″ x 9.5″ for the lining.  The straps for the front and back were 2″ x 18″ and 2″ x 15″.

I saw this pin on Pinterest for the idea for the style and made it up for the size I wanted it to be.

I did my normal reverse applique design on the front.  The main body is lambskin suede, the applique and straps are probably lambskin (my sister-in-law gave me some leather scraps she got at a garage sale), and the inside is silk.

Pretty happy with how this one came out!  It was just the right size and easy to carry for a night out.
