Hello bees,

Has anyone seen any patterns for a simple bridal clutch? Nothing fancy. Not too big. Would love it to have an old-fashioned two-part clasp closure though this isn't necessary.

Just got my dress on Sunday (phew!). Comes with a little stole/shawl thingy. Instead of using it for its intended purpose, thought I'd make a little matching bag out of it.

Thanks muchly for any ideas,

Hi! I'm sewing a clutch for myself. It was hard to find the metal closeures, but I ended up ordering mine from an Etsy vendor overseas: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29573774

Then I found this tutorial: http://u-handbag.typepad.com/uhandblog/2006/12/purse_frames_de.html

The best part about the tutorial is that it shows you the ratio of measurements, so you can adjust for any purse frame size.

Have fun!
