Pattern for a Classic Fold-Over Evening Bag

Two classic evening bags on display made from a DIY clutch bag pattern.

This clutch purse pattern makes a bag that’s a party classic. Take it on a cruise to wear to dinner, out for a romantic evening, or to your next wedding or holiday party.

This DIY clutch bag can be made two ways: swing it on your wrist or sling it over your shoulder. To close, zip it up and click the magnetic snap.  Two handy slip pockets are included, one at the back and one inside. Perfect for those nights out!

Measures:  5″H x 9 1/2″W x 1/2″D
