Introducing the Classic Clutch by Andrie Designs! This is the second pattern in the Andrie Designs Classic Collection – an ongoing collection of patterns designed to be simple and quick to construct, yet effective and classic in design. They are patterns designed for all types of makers, whether you make to sell or simply sew for pleasure.
The Classic Clutch comes in two sizes – Mini and Maxi – and has been created to give you a practical clutch that still has that ‘wow’ factor. It features box corners, shiny hardware and straightforward construction techniques, as well as simple piecing, a full zipper closure along the top and an inner zipper pocket as well.
This pattern has 11 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced 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 zippers an easy and stress-free experience.

I had to have the Classic Clutch pattern because the Classic Carryall is one of my favorite totes! Both are fun to make, giving us so many fabric options. 🙂

Love this pattern! Much easier to make the first time than I expected. I don’t have much patience with confusing directions – these directions are excellent!!! And of course, each time I make this it is even easier! Which happens because it is a fantastic pattern to make in so many different ways.
