My pieces for the clutch were 14X18. I used different shades of denim for the front and the back, you have four different looks and options with this fold-over clutch. Once you figure out the size of your clutch. you want to cut fringes on all sides of the clutch. Now Tangie already had her interesting pieces to add to her clutch but I did not. I had to create my pieces to apply to the clutch so there was some prep time involved but if you already have access to the pieces to add to your clutch, then you're golden. After all my pieces were made cut to shreds, I just threw everything in the washer &
dryer to fray the edges for the distressed look.
Now it's time to have fun. I'm a little over the top soooooo, yes I had to press my pieces when they came from the dryer. Then it was time to stack pieces to sew together, I had thread flying everywhere. But the outcome was super cool, at least I thought so anyway.
I also had to sew this zipper in and before you say it, I know the lines I drew on my template are not even nor was my zipper and I was OK with the uneven look for this clutch. I applied it the same way you would sew welt pockets, super easy to do. Clip it flip it over and press it ten you just put the zipper down the middle and sew it to the clutch. [ I just had a Bell, Biv ,Devoe moment right then............do me babayyyyy, do me babayyyyy, slap it up, flip it rub it....] ahhhhemmmm, now to embellish my clutch before I sew it together
Tome to sew the finished clutch front and back together and add in what-ever you're using for your handle! Whooot Whooot you and I are done!
Opened wide there are sides one and two above and three and four below!

Here is the video tutorial that inspired me to make this clutch.
I'm like you I like to sew my stuff together rather than glue things together, I like this a lot, thanks for showing us how to do this what an inspiration.

DeleteDoes anyone know what happened to Tangie B DIYer/vlogger? She is no longer found on youtube
ReplyDeleteGood question. I had been watching and enjoying for months. Searched everywhere and it is like she dropped off the face of the earth. Wish I had saved daughter's vlog address, maybe could get answer there. Hope she and family are well.
ReplyDeleteI know I've tried to contact her, she's not anywhere!
DeleteShe has a printress account under funkygrudge boutique. She has a account funkygrudge boutique on tic TOC and YouTube also. She does not do any dyi videos though. Only showing her items from her boutique. But her work is awesome. I'm not sure about what went on with her other buds in the past. Just glad she is back.
