But that's why I'm so excited to share this one with you today. This was completely a stash project for me too. The denim scraps I commandeered from my mom's stash. I think they were some shorts one of my siblings had in the 90s. I loved the print though, and wanted to turn it into a clutch. I used some white denim that I had in my fabric stash to make the hand strap. I love the hand strap because it makes it easier to hold onto the clutch itself. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out too.\n\u003c/P\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\nThe tutorial is pretty simple too. You can raid your own stash for fabric, look in remnant bins at the fabric store, or go to a thrift shop to find some cool patterned denim.

Unfortunately, that meant that many of my photos are very lacking because of lighting issues. To add to it, I made several novice mistakes while sewing this clutch. Do you ever have an off day like that? I unpicked more seams than I care to admit, and a lot of my pictures show the wrong way of doing it. Doh. This means that this is more of written tutorial instead of a pictorial. However, if you've sewn a lined pouch before you should have no trouble following along. Feel free to comment with any questions or any parts that need clearing up. In the future I will try to give you a proper lined pouch tutorial!\n \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMATERIALS NEEDED\u003c/H3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cLI\u003emedium to heavy weight fabric for the exterior (I used pink twill)\n\u003cli\u003elight to medium weight fabric for the lining (I used quilting cotton)\n\u003cli\u003einterfacing/underlining fabric* (I used white denim)\n\u003cli\u003ewhite felt\n\u003cli\u003efusible web (optional)\n\u003cli\u003ezipper\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n*A quick note: I quite dislike using fusible interfacing for bags because it usually alters my fabric in undesirable ways.

Since felt doesn't fray, you can use a straight stitch for this.
