  Step 1

  start with cutting your lace and your other fabric. make a square of a width of 24 cm (9,5 inc) and a hight of 40 cm (15,5 inc.). and hold it together with your pins.

• 

  Step 2

  look for one of those cheap tote bags, as long as it's firm so it can hold your bag's shape (the picture shows the fabric i prefer) and cut out a square with a with of 24 cm (9,5 inc) en a hight of 14 cm (5,5 inc)

• 

  Step 3

  pin that on the rest of the fabric leave about 2 cm (1 inc) of the two layers sticking out on the bottom.

• 

  Step 4

  sew all around, making shore you have catch all your layers. your sewing machine may get stuck sometimes. just keep trying and go nice and slow.

• 

  Step 5

  use the zigzag stitch on your machine to finish of the bottom and top (the flap).

• 

  Step 6

  fold the bottom over, pin and stitch over it

• 

  Step 7

  now go to the other side where the tote bag material stops. and sew that closed.

• Step 8

  now finish of the flap.

• Step 9

  now fold the fabric so the tote bag material is the same length on bough sides. and the good sides are facing each other. pin that together and sew over it a few times.

• 

  Step 10

  fold so the lace is on the outside of the clutch. and ad your push buttons.

• 

  Step 11

  you can stop at this moment but i want to embellish it with a bow. look for two pieces of at least 30 cm (12 inc) and sew the ends on the inside of the flap.
  than place the ribbons on the bottom side of the flap and pin and sew like on the picture (sorry that this step is so wishie-washie)

• 

  Step 12

  than just make a bow and secure that by hand stitching threw it a few times.

• 

  Step 13

  done !! now you can make a lot of them in half the time... it is also a great gift for all your girlfriends-

  quick tip: if you like to make more of them make a pattern for fabric and a pattern for the tote bag lining

I love the look of this project... can't wait to give it a go, but some steps appear to be missing?
