Necessary Clutch Wallet Class (Intermediate - Sewing)
The Necessary Clutch Wallet isn't your ordinary wallet. Carry your cell phone/mobile,
cheques, cash, cards, coins and still have room for your favourite lipstick or even personal
items. With its closed ends, everything is safe and secure and there is never any worry about
anything sliding out.
This class is ideally for someone who has completed a few sewing projects and eager to try
something new. We will go through the technique including prepping your pieces, cutting and
interfacing. You’ll be guided by an experienced bagmaker and learn new techniques including
zippered pocket as well as card slots. You’ll learn to sew different thickness. We will complete a
professional looking wallet that you are proud to carry every day or gifting.
