DIY: Clutch

{American Apparel Clutch}
I know a lot of people (myself included) that want/wanted the American Apparel clutch but just couldn't justify spending £46 on what quite frankly is an oversized pencil case. I was tempted to buy it once, then snapped out of that moment of madness and remembered that I could sew my own at a fraction of the price.

I wanted to make a clutch like this as a leaving present for a friend of mine, but I wanted to make it a bit different so it wasn't just another pencil case and after wandering around one of my favourite haberdashery shops, I decided upon making something slightly different:

I'm making more as I want one for myself, but I'm thinking about doing different styles and putting them up for sale on the Strut Mode Shop, so keep looking out for that.
