Description
This smart wristlet clutch bag has a jaunty diagonal seam front and back, created with a slightly different construction method that does away with the centre bottom seam, although you can choose to add that back in if working with a directional fabric. I think you'll love the option to learn the custom pocket hack technique that you can apply to the lining of all of your future bag patterns and projects to create neat slip pockets that exactly fit what you plan to carry.
This clutch has a removable wristlet strap included as standard, but add another strap connector on the other side seam and this bag is also ideal for turning into a shoulder bag or crossbody bag with a snap on adjustable strap in a length of your choice. The Kent Clutch Bag is a simple lined bag with no raw edges, a slim flat base with plenty of room inside for all of your essentials for an evening out, and a zipper with neat ends. The optional wrist strap can be snapped on to allow you to carry your purse hands free.
The sewing pattern is included free in the class.

Skill level: This is a beginner plus level pattern. It's a good skill builder pattern but the zipper is a little bit more tricky than the straightforward zipper pouch like the other class for the Guernsey. You will learn tips for how to sew a zipper with nice neat, dent-free ends without needing to sew zipper tabs. You'll also create easy boxed corners for the flat base, and sew a removable wristlet strap.
