Fabric & Construction Suggestions:
For the Clutch in the cover photo, I used a Brocade Exterior and Satin for the Lining and Inset. However this clutch makes
up great in a lot of fabric types such as silks and quilting cottons.
I found that interfacing was necessary on the lining when using the satin however for fabrics such as quilting cottons, you
may choose to use less interfacing in your pocket construction and still achieve good results. In fact it will be easier on
your sewing machine if it tends to be stubborn at times!
The Inset is optional so make it fancy or make it plain!
