Between the tidy-up of the craft boxes and the bag sort and cull it was only natural to get inspired to make a bag. I can’t remember what this style of bag is called. They were all over the internet a year or two ago. I’m calling it the Fold-Over Clutch.

It’s a simple lined pouch that, well, folds over.

I added a loop and used an offcut of the fabric to make a handle. The fabric was a sample square, probably from a book of upholstery fabric, which I picked up at Reverse Art Truck, the lining was leftovers and the clasp and ring were from my collection of salvaged bits and bobs.

I have another piece of sample fabric, in a tan-grey colour.

I’m thinking of making an oversized frame purse with light blue lining.
