I was invited to a wedding party, and I have beautiful red dress but no matching clutch. So I decided to sew one, and thats the result;] In the pictures you can see al the details, tiny pocket with lace and elastic band. I sewed the lining in the way so I can fish it out /picture 9./. I have some problems with sewing the edge /part near the zipper/ because when I finished it, I noticed that the clutch doesn’t seem to catch its shape. So i have to remove the part below the zipper, added in some plastic from the refill to the lights /you know like in the cemetery/. And the I added another stripe of velvet to link two already stiff parts. And to make it ideal to my dress I made red bow and clipped it with safety pin;] I also made purple rose, to make it matching some purple clothes; it would be universal clutch:]
for the clutch: black velvet, red lining, black lace, old bracelet And for the 'extra decorations': purple brightning fabric, black lace, red ribbon, safety pins
