My second attempt at a clutch turned out well. I used the extra fabric from recovering the cafe chairs so really I only paid $1 for the zipper, which I found at Tempe Sales. I made the pattern myself but followed construction instructions from a sewing magazine I had.
I broke another needle in the process, so I'm down to my last one and I'm not looking forward to figuring out where and which type I need to get when this one breaks.
I have an extra white zipper and more interfacing left over so I think I'm going to make another smaller bag with some fabric scraps for more practice.
I also found a cool tutorial online for reclaimed leather clutch that's cute so maybe I'll grab an old leather jacket from goodwill for $1 and try that as well!
Sewing is not just for grandmas anymore, people.
