Illustrated Sewing Tutorial - How to Make a Felt Clutch or Cosmetic Bag
Felt is so fun to work with because of its non-fraying quality. You can make this clutch in any color to match your wardrobe.

|
1. Take your fabric and fold it so that it is in a clutch shape - each side being about 1/3 of the length.
|
|
|
2. Mark 3x3 cm squares on the 2 bottom corners of the clutch and cut the squares out.
|
|
|
3. Sew now along the side edges where the front and back of the fabric touch and along the bottom edge.
|
|
|
4. This is how the bottom square looks. You will need to pull the square open...
|
|
|
5. Place the seams together...
|
|
|
6. ... and sew a line about 7mm or 1/4 inch from the edge. Do the same to the second corner, too.
|
|
|
7. When completed, and turned inside out, the corners look like this.
|
|
|
8. Because the bottom part of the bag is sewn, the top flap is a bit wider. Trim the sides to the same width of the bag. If you like, round off the 2 corners of the top flap.
|
|
|
9. Add a magnet closure, a button or a snap to hold the bag closed.
