Purse Pattern - Glam Girl Purse

By Damjana Jakos • Last updated on May 9, 2024 • This post may contain affiliate links.

Purse pattern - Sew a glamorous party purse, wedding clutch, or wristlet using my new purse sewing pattern. The clean and elegant design gives this purse limitless possibilities - and a distinct wow factor! And scroll down to find out why exactly this name (Thank you, RBD!)

Meet the brand new Glam Girl Purse Pattern: a clean and elegant design and a unique look with the rounded flap, offering limitless options to use as a party purse, a makeup pouch, a date-night clutch, a wedding clutch, or on a number of occasions like a Sunday church gathering, theatre, or simply a lunch out with friends. You name it!

Goes with any style! Depending on what fabric you use for the flap, this purse can range from super cute with florals, playful prints, and modern in solids - all the way to formal elegance with glamorous silk, sparkle prints, and even brocade or other luxury fabrics. You'll love it!

Check out this short feature video - EASIER to see what I'm talking about in this post!

The Story of the GLAM GIRL Purse Pattern

To be entirely honest, I've had this design in my drafts for ages. I had edited and changed it so many times yet it somehow never felt right to me. Did I mention I'm pretty weird about drafting my patterns - I should probably just follow the market trends instead of figuring out what I personally want from a pattern, haha!

Back to the purse. Fast forward a lot of months and I get my hands on these gorgeous prints in pink, sweet mint, and rose gold sparkle. Rosegold and pink and mint, y'all!  Yes please!

That was the evening I reworked my pattern file entirely (again!) because now I finally knew what I wanted from it! I printed out that final draft and sewed up the first one of what you see today: my new GLAM GIRL Purse pattern.

Oh, why exactly this name? Simple! The fabric collection that helped this pattern finally be released is - The Glam Girl collection! I find it so fitting, what about you? It was designed by Dani Mogstadt for Riley Blake Designs. Love it  - take a look a the lighter part of the collection here, my favorites were the sparkle nudes and of course, sparkle florals.

*Of course I asked Riley Blake Designs first if I could use Glam Girl name for my pattern. Just in case you were wondering. 🙂

Purse Pattern - More About The Glam Girl Purse

You can carry it in two ways; as a clutch or wristlet. Due to the smart placement of the strap connector, the transition from the wristlet to the clutch is seamless: flip the wrist strap into the interior, and voila! A clutch! Pull it out - a wristlet!

A hidden strap connector will turn the clutch into a wristlet at any moment.

Curvy and elegant - perfect for special occasions. This small clutch is a good size for your wallet, phone, and a few other items.

FEATURES:

  • Curvy and elegant - perfect for special occasions.
  • 2 options for interior pockets (zipper pocket, slip pocket, card slot included)
  • A magnetic snap closure to keep everything safe
  • Interfaced for added stability, fat quarter friendly
  • A hidden strap connector that will turn the clutch into a wristlet any moment.
  • The flap gives you the chance to add an eye-catching feel to the project. Shine!
