Hello, I’ve watched your video over and over. I only have one question. When you fuse the 13″ x 10″ to the fusible Pellon 808, 13 1/2 to 13″ (centered) sewing on the long edge, but when you hold it up it looks like the 10″ is at the top, what I’m I missing. Other-than that I really enjoyed
the video.
Anita. As always we love your creations, making your own
purses to match your outfits is something unique. Keep your
tutorials coming, I hope you can do a hat tutorials, your have
maid some beautiful hats also. Have a bless day.
Thank you Gale! I don’t make my hats. I purchase most of them from Burlington Coat Factory.
Great video! Glad you are back. Where do you purchase the rings?
Thank you! My rings were purchased from a jewelry making store in Downtown, Los Angeles, but they don’t have a website. Try Amazon.
Awesome! Thanks for the new tutorial – I looking to making a clutch bag. Xo

I have a laundry list of apparel projects I need to get to before attempting accessories though…lol! Thank you for the tutorial!

THANKS ANITA…I was eargerly anticipating this tutorial to make clutches for my wedding in June…while I will be trying my hand at this tutorial later…I fear I will not have the time to gather all resources AND sew up 12 clutches…:(! C William, you are a life- and budget saver! 😉 I saw your post last night with the link and contacted them…she will be making my bridesmaids clutches!! YES….her clutches are FAB….and we’re doing a custom order for my wedding!
Awesome Kelli! So glad it worked out for you! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!
Hi Anita, I am really inspired by this video tutorial. I especially loved the animal prints. I am going to make more than one to give as gifts.
Oh, Linda, these make awesome gifts! Enjoy making your clutches!
Anita, these are simply gorgeous and you do such a good job at instructing.
About how much fabric would you say you need to purchase to make each clutch? Do you have a link to the animal print fabric you used? I hope so!!
Keep letting God shine through you! You are such a classy lady!!
God bless!
Hi Yvette! Purchase 1/2 yard. I don’t have a link to the animal print. It was leftover from another project. I purchased it about 3 or 4 years ago at JoAnn’s.
Thank you so much!
Anita,
Thanks so much!
O My God am speechless…I have been looking up to this….May Jehovah bless you Anita you …. I can’t wait to start making my own clutch…..I am so smiling….Thank you…we luv u so much
Oooooh, Ray, you’re so welcome! You’re making my heart smile! Thank you and I’m glad you like the turorial.
This is an excellent video tutorial. It is quite inspirational. The possibilities are endless. You could add an inner pocket to the lining. I want to make a bag to match each of my outfits. And what an excellent ideas as gifts for someone special. I am writing from the UK; from Wales in fact.
Hi Sarah! Yes, the possibilities are endless. I totally forgot to mention the tip about adding a pocket to the inside. Yes, some of my clutches have a small pocket inside. Your family and friends would love receiving these as gifts. Thanks for stopping by!
Anita, I viewed your video earlier today and absolutely loved it! You are so thorough and didn’t miss anything! Thank you so much for sharing your very valuable information on creating a beautiful clutch…I can’t wait to make one!
Thanks you so much Myra! I’m glad you liked the tutorial and I can’t wait to see yours. It’s so much fun making these.
Hi, Anita
A Nice and useful video, pretty easy to understand and your language and how you verbalize and express every idea was very clear (easy to understand for a person like me that English is not my first language). I’m going to try to make one o two of those clutches.
Keep the good work and God Bless you.
Hi Lady! I’m so glad you were able to follow along and understand the tutorial. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy sewing your clutch purse.
Thanks for sharing Anita.. I can’t wait to make it and will share the results (though it maybe awhile with all of my sewing projects).
You’re welcome Deborah! Enjoy all your sewing sew sister!
Which frame should i purchase?Is there a certain measurement or style you are working with? Thank you for all you do for the sewing community. Jehovah God Bless you and all you love
Hi Nancy! I just changed the link in this post to the exact frame I used. Thanks for asking. You’re very welcome and God bless you too!
Hi Anita, a couple questions for you. I have a singer machine, do I need special needles for the thicker fabric? Also, when you added the frame,I noticed you just pushed the sides in is there any way to secure the sides so they don’t pop out? Thank you
Krista, I have the same question. Anita, is there a way to secure the sides?
Hi Krista! Great questions!
(1) I used a size 90/14 needle.
(2) I just changed link in this post to exact frame that I used.
(3) I don’t know of a way to secure frame. I’ve had no issues while carrying my clutches with fabric popping outside frame.
Thank you. Im buying my supplies today :+)
Beautiful clutch purses Anita! I watched your YouTube instructions….easy to understand your verbal instructions, and very clear ‘how to’ illustrations. I could actually see what you were doing without any obstructions. Your body positions were spot on. Your video person (husband) is very good at recording! It is a blessing to be able to make our own clothing, accessories etc. I met a woman some time ago who covered some of her shoes (pumps) with beautiful fabrics from her fabric stash. Keep up the good work! I love your blog!
Thank you so much Patricia!
