Introducing the Carry All Flexi Clutch by Andrie Designs! This gorgeous clutch bag pattern is an easy to follow sewing pattern to design and make your very own Carry All Flexi Clutch. Whether it be for day or night, for yourself or a gift for a friend, you are bound to find exactly what you’re looking for within this pattern.
~ The Carry All Flexi Clutch has recently been featured in the Quilt Me A Bag blog series (click here) ~
As the name suggests, it comes with several options making it completely flexible to suit your every need. With four different styles of outer pockets, two different types of closures, the option of an inner zipper pocket and the option of piping, you can easily design a clutch for every occasion.
Perhaps you need one to hold your sewing notions? Or a cute little clutch for a trip to the shops, a coffee date or an evening out with the girls? Or what about a small accessories/toiletries bag for travelling or even a medical bag…? The possibilities are endless!
This pattern comes with two files – the pattern instructions/pieced pattern pages, and a large print pattern pieces file suitable for printing at your local print shop on the correct sized paper. It has 10 pages of clear, detailed instructions. Depending on the options chosen, it can be suitable for a beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn. Wary of zippers? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and diagrams to make adding the zipper/s an easy and stress-free experience.

I love my Carry All Flexi Clutch, it is so very practical. I use mine as my makeup bag, not floppy at all, but really a stable bag that I can get in and easily find things quickly. The many different options make this a must-have pattern that can easily be modified to your needs.
