Clutch bags are popular to carry and to make. They came roaring into style during World War II and never left. The vintage pattern books of the forties feature many clutch styles and today’s top designers all have signature clutches as part of their accessory lines, with prices soaring to $5000.00 +. This clutch won’t fetch that kind of money but you’ll feel like a celebrity on the red carpet every time you use it.

It is made with the aligned puff stitch, so it has lots of texture, with 2 balls of Lion Brand Re-Tweed, perfect for a bag. Dress it up with a colorful pin. You can change the look of the bag by simply picking a different brooch as a clasp.

Versatile and quick to work up, you’ll want to make a few in different colors to match all your clothing.
