Hilly Posted December 2, 2007 Report Posted December 2, 2007 (edited) I was thinking of making myself a clutch purse, but need a pattern. Anyone want to share one, or know where I can get a pattern for making one? Edited December 2, 2007 by Hilly Quote
Members Mike Posted December 2, 2007 Members Report Posted December 2, 2007 There are a lot of them out there. Beth Berry has one in her book, I believe there was one in a doodle page, older issues of leather magazines have them and there was also a craftaid with one. Some clutches hold checkbooks and some hold change while some do both. You can also browse the catalogs of places like Tandy/TLF and Hidecrafters to get ideas. As for sizes, a clutch that holds a checkbook will be about the same dimensions as a checkbook. Add a bit to the length if you want to add lots of pockets. You'll need thin leather for the interior as well as snaps and/or zippers. Just keep in mind that there are tons of variations. Make up some paper patterns from brown paper bags and fit them together to work out the details. When that's done, make real patterns. I hope this helps. Quote
