Tutorial for making a clutch bag


Cut two strips of 50 x 30 cm from the chosen fabric to make the bag, in our case, linen. Also, cut 30 cm from each decorative ribbon.

Once we have the ribbons arranged to our liking, baste them on one of the linen fabrics…

Place the zipper inside out.

Place the other piece of linen fabric on top, right sides together. Baste and sew the zipper.

Fold the fabric in half. Baste. Open the zipper and sew both sides.

Turn the bag inside out. Present the beads and sew.

To make the handle, cut 30 cm of linen ribbon and sew it on the right side to the side of the clutch.

Open the zipper and turn the work.

Baste and sew the sides.

To embellish and cover the interior seam, place linen ribbon and sew.

Turn the clutch and it’s ready!
We now have our clutch for any occasion. Elegant and summery, it will be a must-have in our wardrobe.
This has been our proposal, which we hope serves as inspiration for each person to design it to their liking.
