So, a friend of mine saw the clutch at one of our birthday dinners and asked if I could make a cute little one for her phone. So I checked out etsy to see what kind of ideas were out there and started working on my little prototype. :) I'm a little embarrassed to post my first phone clutch because I have used it so much that it's starting to look a little dingey. But here's one that I finally got around to making for my friend. My phone clutch is for a blackberry so it's a bit smaller, this one is for an iphone so it's a little taller. I searched for a large lobster clasp and was totally surprised to find some at Joann's. It's by Darice Jewelry Designer and comes in a 2pk. I've seen these cute little clasps on clutches, wallets, and purses of all shapes and sizes.
And here we are! I'd love to make a contribution to the world of tutorials with this little one especially since I have benefitted so much from what others have put online. I'm sure there might be some tutorials already out there but I'm proud to say that this is one that I figured out on my own.
I did make a few changes as my experience with clutch making has evolved. I prefer a wristlet with my clutches and I like to use fusible interfacing to give the clutch some structure. You could also use a warm and natural type batting but I opted not to. Also, adding small tabs to the ends of the zipper improves the overall appearance of the opening.
