I made
these 3 clutch purses
using Red Heart Super Saver yarn and Lion Brand Vanna’s
Choice yarn. The buttons I
purchased online at Joann’s Fabric.
The black
one with the polka dot embellishment I did sew a lining and a zipper along with
two black buttons. The embellishment is
from Jolee’s Boutique and the buttons are from AC Moore.  |

The grey one I did line it with fabric as well and
the button I purchased was from in Joann’s Fabric .
All of these
beautiful creations I crocheted in the same stitch (1/2 double crochet) to give it
a more tight look. I kept doing this til
I got it to the size of more or less a rectangle (you can keep crocheting til
you get to whatever size you want you don’t have to make it a rectangle). I would then fold it every once and awhile to
just check to make sure I had it in the size I wanted and also to get an idea how
much I wanted the front flap to cover or overlap. I would then try to change the stitch a bit
for the fold over part and of course where I was going to make my button holes.
I then cut
the fabric to the length that I wanted to fit inside the clutch and iron it to make
sure it wasn’t wrinkled when I sew it to the purse and I would sew the zipper via
my sewing machine (this I just happen to look online via YouTube to get the
‘how to sew a zipper’). Once I was done
with the zipper being sewn I would then hand sew the fabric (that has the
zipper attached already) to the clutch.
I
suggest to sew the fabric to the purse by hand only because (for me) There’s
been too many times where I have sewn fabric to a crochet item directly on the
machine and it has messed up my crochet item…so sew it by hand is what I suggest. Also these can by hand washed.
