Radley Clutch Bag

Description

The Radley Clutch Bag is the ideal beginner sewing pattern. Just one pattern piece (plus a pocket), just two pieces of fabric. Easy to cut out and easy to sew. Yet easy doesn’t mean you won’t end up with a pretty and practical bag. In fact, two bags because the Radley Clutch Bag sewing pattern has two sizes. I think both are perfect, not too big and not too small.

This lightweight and soft simple clutch bag is an evening classic with its curved asymmetrical flap design and magnetic snap closures. Sew one in a pretty print for a more casual look, a classic solid color like black or navy for more understated eletgance, or use a fancy fabric like embroidered silk and you can take this bag everywhere and anywhere. Quilting is optional but cute! 

This beginner-friendly and easy to sew clutch bag set is Fat Quarter friendly, a quick project, very light on materials, and no zippers. Use it as a simple clutch bag for an evening out. Even the smaller size is big enough to hold your phone, some cards or cash, and a lipstick and keys for date night. Or use it to keep things safe and organized inside a larger purse.
