Hey y'all! I pinned this lovely color-blocked clutch forever ago and have been waiting patiently for the leather at Joanns to go on sale. Finally it did, and I was able to do this entire project for $6! Here's how:

*Pro Tip! Leather can be hard to pin, clothespins are a nice alternative!

*Pro Tip! When you topstitch the pink triangles onto the body of your bag start at the tip and work your way out to the corners. This will prevent shifting.

Turn it through the hole and stuff the lining into the purse. Then topstitch around the outside, and also 1/4" in.

Then stare at your beautiful creation!

I love this clutch! It caught my eye right away while I was browsing through the posts linked up with Someday Crafts. I love seeing projects taken from stuff you might find in the store. Thanks for sharing!
