Clutch Purse Pattern

Last week, I was playing with the idea of making a beginner pattern that would include curves, a purse that would be so easy to sew that it could safely be marked as a totally beginner-friendly project. Also, just this easy kam snap closure and no advanced bag sewing techniques. In short, how to make a curved bag into a simple sewing project. I think I've nailed it - but now it's your turn to let me know what you think about the Lili Clutch pattern.

First, for those of you who like video, I've made a slide-show to get the feeling of how easy it is to sew one:

This easy pattern will help you get creative even if you've never sewn a pouch before (let alone a lined pouch!)  It is so simple yet practical, perfect for keeping your basic essentials, like keys, a lip balm and a pack of tissues:

It can also be used as a phone sleeve. Or to store keys - I could use one for my USB keys - no more losing those! It makes a great first aid kit, a panty liner pouch, and more: scroll down for even more ideas on how to use it!

This clutch purse is a scrap buster! Find the perfect fabric, or just use some from your stash. Play around with coordinating or contrasting combinations 🙂

Have fun coordinating the fabrics and making the design suitable for you. You can use the same fabric for the entire clutch or use a contrasting fabric for the flap to give it a totally different look.
