For ALT Summit I wanted something new, fresh and fun to carry around all of my documents. I loved Mandy’s Fabric Document Holder so much, that I decided to use it again for this conference!
But this time I decided to put my own spin on it…
I love this clutch because it is so easy to sew together, and it really adds a touch of class to your notebook, pens and paper. Adding a pin closure couldn’t be simpler too!
Once you have finished making the envelope document holder and have the sides sewn down, you will need a large decorative pin found at your local Jo-Ann Fabrics, and around 10″ of jewelry chain.
To attach the chain to the envelope clutch simply…
And there you have it, super simple and super cute! I felt so trendy carrying this around – lol. The same technique could really be applied to any purse closure. Just be sure the fabric you used has a loose weave so that you can easily slip the pin in and out of it. Quilting Cotton will NOT work. I used a herringbone wool and it was perfect!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and until next time…
Happy Sewing!
I love it! The fabric you chose is super classy and the closure is really quirky and fun
Thanks so much Sunae! I really loved using it, I felt so trendy – ha!
That is cool. It looks so classy, so sophisticated. The closure is really fun, and not something that you would expect.
I had so much fun using it Kristie – sometimes its the unexpected things, right?
Love it, genius as usual.
Tricia – you are so nice! Thank you
I really love this! I’m going to pinch this idea from you! It’ll be a good exercise for me as I never sew piping. Thank you so much
Thanks so much! I am so happy you like it, it is super easy to do too!
Oh, my gosh, Jessica! How flattering! I l-o-v-e that gold edging. And, of course, the closure is great!
