ChrisW Designs Logo Abigail Advanced sewing handbag pattern by ChrisW Designs Evelyn Purse by ChrisW Designs Bella Handbag by ChrisW Designs Olivia Tote bag by ChrisW Designs The Eve Clutch - Make it fancy or make it plain!! Features: Step out in style with the Eve Clutch.  Perfect for an evening out, as a wedding or bridesmaids clutch or make it in casual fabrics without the inset for a day out shopping with your friends! With a spacious main pocket, a zipper divider pocket, 4 card pockets, 2 slip pockets, a coin pocket PLUS a phone slip pocket under the flap you can keep everything organized, yet all nice and compact! Make as many or as few of the pockets as you need and  as fancy or casual as you like! The choice is YOURS! Finished clutch size = Approx. 25cm (10")W  X 18cm (7")H X 2.5cm ( 1")D The pdf pattern for the Eve Clutch has 34 pages of instructions which include 66 step by step colour photos. There are 6 photos of the finished bag, printing instructions and test squares to check scale. 11 Pattern pieces are included as are measurements for both Metric and Imperial! PLUS a TEXT ONLY version of the instructions (7 pages) comes bundled with your pattern for printing purposes, should you not need or wish to print all of the photos! Simply refer to your electronic versions for photos if needed! Saves on ink! For the Eve Clutch you will need: Exterior Fabric:  30 cm (12") of 112cm (44") wide fabric. Lining Fabric: 70cm (28") of 112cm (44") wide fabric. Small amount - 40cm X 11cm (16"X 4½") of Satin for the Flap Inset (optional). (You can use your Lining Fabric if you like!) Fusible Woven Interfacing: Mid  weight - 120cm (approx. 48"). I used Pellon SF101 Shape-Flex (which is approx. 20"wide.) Fusible Fleece. Mid weight - I used Pellon TP971F Thermolam Plus - 25cm (10"). Matching Thread. (I use Guttermann Polyester). 1 X 18mm (¾") Regular Magnetic Snap. 1 X 23cm (9") Zipper to match your lining for the divider pocket. 1 X 18cm (7")  Zipper to match your lining for the coin pocket. Tools:  Your sewing machine, additional zipper foot & Iron. Scissors & Rotary Cutter and mat. (optional) Fading marker or chalk. Pins, tape measure & Seam/stitch ripper. (Just in case!)                      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!
