corduroy clutch

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute


Materials

I raided my sisters fabric collection for this unusual corduroy fabric. The interior is a cotton/poly print. Other materials include zippers, metal clasp and oval ring.

What was your inspiration?

I wanted to make a small purse that would hold everything I would need for an event, so I wouldn't have to haul a big purse along every time I go out.

What are you most proud of?

This purse can be filled with all the necessities, but is small and can hang off of a wrist. It leaves the hands free if necessary.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The choice of fabric is what makes this sporty or more formal. i customized the interior to suit what I like to have as basic necessities, but this can easily be altered.

Thands ctegart...! The clasp on the purse came from Tandy Leather factory - they have a lot of purse hardware. For things like d-rings and magnetic snaps, I go to Paccana Enterprises. They are a wholesaler, so some things only come in quantities of a 100. They also carry sewing supplies like needles, thread and quilters' rulers at really good prices.

Great clutch! Beautiful choice of fabric and hardware. I noticed you are in Calgary, where do you find your hardware for the bags you make?
