Hello Bob, Thank you for the welcome and input. Yes I put bag stiffener on the front and back. I actually used one rectangular piece that will be curved on the bottom instead of using 2 pieces sewn on the bottom so I will see how that turns out. Hopefully I don't go through too much leather trying to get my pattern right with the side gussets. Thanks again!

Hello, I have a question about making side gussets. I am trying to make a clutch like the one shown and I see that it has a tapered gusset. Is there a rule of thumb for the angle to be removed or do most people just eyeball it? I am trying to get my pattern drawn out so I can cut the leather. I don't know if this is important or not but I will be using lambskin leather.
