The smallest clutch is perfect to toss in a few essentials: cash, phone, lipstick and keys, and is great as a casual daytime clutch or a stylish evening clutch for a party or dinner out. It can be used as a purse insert for the large size, or as a phone pouch. The Medium size will fit an ipad, and the large size is a perfect crossbody style bag for daytime outings.

• A stylish and sleek fold-over clutch or crossbody bag
• 3 sizes for all your needs: small, medium and large

Usually, people with intermediate sewing skills would say it could be marked as a ‘beginner bag’. And it’s true: the Sophia Fold-Over Clutch pattern can be a great introduction to bag making.

However, my patterns are regularly very (and I mean very!) easy to sew. And when I mark one as a ‘beginner pattern’, it really really really means you can be a beginner to sew it. With this pattern, you’ll need to be comfortable with sewing zipper pockets, sewing through a few layers, handling faux leather and sewing a straight line when topstitching. So, just to be consistent with the rest of my patterns. I’m still making it really easy for you, with all the step-by-step photos, diagrams, tips and tricks and everything (you know me, I love a good pattern hack!)
