So today is my friend’s birthday and for her gift I decided to make her a clutch (which then in turn meant I made another for myself!)

For the basic shape and instructions I used New Look pattern 6457.

The fabric came from an upholstery sample and with the shape of the pattern the print magically matched up perfectly on the front!

I then chose to add some cute trim to give the purses some extra flare.

I also decided to add grommets and put in a light gold chain so that the purse was more versatile.

The gold chain can be used at two different lengths since it loops all of the way through the purse.
