Denim Clutch Bag

A few years ago, I needed a tiny clutch purse only large enough to hold my driver's license, a couple of credit cards, and folded money. I didn't have one, let alone one to match my out fit.

Not to be outdone, I searched my sewing scraps and found the perfect blue denim fabric. Then I cut and sewed this neat little clutch bag, which measures 5 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches deep to hold the few items above. The purse can be made to any measurement you want.

This little clutch purse is very quick and easy to make. I wanted to share it so I searched the internet and found directions and illustrations. Here is the clutch bag and the directions I found at Threads - For People Who Love to Sew.
You're going to love this clutch so much you'll want it in several sizes, fabrics, and colors. I know I did.

Let us hear back if you decide to try it. We'd love to know how it turns out.
