I'm giving away a copy of the pattern + a kit to make the clutch you see pictured!
This pattern is an easy make for a last minute Christmas gift!

This pattern is an easy make for a last minute Christmas gift!
The clutch has a metallic silver zipper and silver clasp and D-Ring. The fabrics included in the kit are Essex Linen from Robert Kaufmann and a cotton/linen print by Annika Wester for Kokka.
The pattern includes three different sizes.
The Shopper is the largest at a very generous 16" x 14 1/2".
I absolutely love this size. If you like big purses this is the size for you!
The "Around Town" is a perfect 13" x 11"
Not too big and not too small.
The clutch is compact but roomy enough for all your essentials when you want to carry a smaller bag.
Each purse a has zipper closure on the top and
the inside has a zipper lining pocket.
I have some more fabrics picked out for this bag. I can't wait to make some more versions!
The pattern is a PDF download that includes the pattern for all three sizes plus 11 pages of easy to follow instructions and illustrations!
Now for the Give~Away!
Please leave a comment below by December 12 at 5 p.m. PST. below and I will pick a winner.
Give away is open to all commenters!
Good Luck!

Love the fabric in the giveaway. Your choices for the follow up bags are great too. Especially like upper right corner - it looks like it may be an arrow fabric in the blue. I would use the largest bag to replace my tote I take to work everyday, and try to gift the clutch, but......as I said the fabric is great.
