The Statement Clutch

Introducing The Statement Clutch by Andrie Designs! This darling, oversized clutch is the perfect way to showcase a beautiful piece of lace or a unique fabric, with the flap and turn lock being the centrepiece for all to admire.

The Statement Clutch comes in three sizes (small, medium and large), enabling you to make a clutch to suit any and every occasion. It has a simple turn lock closure to keep your belongings safely tucked away inside, and a nicely sized slip pocket inside for your smart phone or keys.

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 9 pages of clear, detailed instructions. It is suitable for an advanced beginner sewer. All pattern pieces have been digitally drawn.

Wary of turn locks? Don’t be! Throughout the pattern I give detailed and comprehensive instructions and photos to make installing the turn lock an easy and stress-free experience.
