Bend and Snap Clutch Paper Pattern By Linds Handmade Designs

Bend and Snap Clutch Paper Pattern
You will receive a printed version of this pattern with full pattern pieces, detailed pictures, and step by step instructions on how to make your own Bend and Snap clutch. It will come in a resealable plastic bag and convenient hanging hole. There is even a full-length how-to video on Linds Handmade Designs YouTube channel, showing you how to make this bag from start to finish if you need any additional support. 

Skill Level: This pattern is designed to be used with any self-healing textile such as cork, leather, vinyl etc as some edges are left raw on the interior portion of the bag. You may use fabric for the exterior in order to show off a feature fabric but Do NOT try making the whole thing with cotton fabric! This is an intermediate pattern in that it uses advanced bag making techniques that require the sewer to have a general familiarity with bag making. This is not recommended for someone brand new to sewing. You should be comfortable using a quilting ruler and rotary cutter or sharp knife (ie box cutter or X-acto   knife) for cutting straight lines.  

Finished Dimensions: 9 1/2"w x 6"h x 1"d. It has a top carrying handle, 1 exterior zipper pocket, 2 interior zipper pockets, a clear vinyl ID window and 6 card slots.
