Description
Take me to the theatre or out to dinner - I’m your new companion for carrying essentials on a night out! I might be cute and compact but I’m practical too: you can fit a large phone and a wallet in my main compartment plus cards and cash in my internal zipper pocket. Prefer to go completely hands-free? Add a handy wrist strap (optional) and you’ll never lose me!
A Message from Kylie
“This project is a lot of fun! It's the ultimate scrap-buster and the perfect use for your scraps of fabric from sewing projects past. Don't be intimidated by the curved zipper! Even if you've never sewn a zipper before, our instructions will guide you through the process and you'll acquire a new skill and a new clutch bag!"
