How to Make a Felt Clutch or Cosmetic Bag

1. Take your fabric and fold it 
so that it is in a clutch shape 
- each side being about 1/3 of 
the length.

2. Mark 3x3 cm squares on the 
2 bottom corners of the clutch 
and cut the squares out.

3. Sew now along the side edges 
where the front and back of the 
fabric touch and along the bottom 
edge.

4. This is how the bottom square 
looks. You will need to pull the 
square open...

6. ... and sew a line about 7mm 
or 1/4 inch from the edge. 
Do the same to the second 
corner, too.

7. When completed, and turned 
inside out, the corners look 
like this.

8. Because the bottom part 
of the bag is sewn, the top 
flap is a bit wider. Trim the 
sides to the same width of the 
bag. If you like, round off the 
2 corners of the top flap.

9. Add a magnet closure, 
a button or a snap to hold 
the bag closed.


Try it  Good Luck !
