How to sew a men's clutch. We sew a clutch with our own hands

The beauty, elegance and sense of style of any woman do not depend on her age or the fashion of the current year. The same can be said about such an old, but still popular thing as a clutch. Almost all women love this type of handbag, as it is a universal addition to their outfit. You can take the clutch to parties, various events, and even on a trip to the beach.

Sewing a clutch with your own hands is done as follows:

Before you start sewing, you should decide what size and style you want the future clutch to be. Usually the size of the handbag does not exceed 15*20 centimeters. To sew it, half a square meter of any fabric will be enough. For the pattern you need to take a piece of cardboard. Ultimately, the pattern should be a rectangle the size of your handbag.

The fabric needs to be turned over with the wrong side facing up, after which you need to make marks on the fabric along the contour of the pattern. Crayons are best suited for these purposes. As a result, there should be a tower in front of you, which is formed by three rectangles of fabric. The top rectangle will be the flap pocket. It needs to be made in such a way that it resembles an envelope when unfolded. This process is carried out with lining fabric.

Next, we’ll talk about how to make a clutch from the prepared parts. The fabric from which you make the lining must be placed front side to the top, then fold it in half and stitch it. After flashing you will receive a pocket. The same procedure must be done with the fabric that will be on the outside of the bag.

The lining and base need to be connected and quilted at the seams. Thus it turns out finished bag. All that remains is to sew on a button or other fastener.

How to sew a leather clutch

The process of sewing a leather clutch is actually even simpler than a fabric one. The main thing is that the skin is soft. A bag made of bright leather with a black zipper, which will add variety to the look, will elegantly complement any outfit. The first stage of sewing a leather clutch should be preparing everyone necessary tools and materials. You need to stock up on a piece of leather of the required size, a zipper and pins.

The pattern is made in the same way as in the first version. The length of the zipper should be equal to the length of the clutch you are sewing. Using the same pattern, we cut out the pattern, but in this situation it will be a rectangle folded in half. Using pins, you need to secure the zipper to the bag and sew it on with a machine. Only after this can you start working on the side seams.
Sewing a clutch yourself is not at all difficult, because the shape of the bag is simple. Also, it is very important to note that you can make something yourself that will perfectly suit your style and taste.

Stylists give some tips to help with tailoring.
If you are sewing a clutch for winter period, then it is better to choose denser fabrics, for example, leather, drape or wool. Silk or velvet are great for summer bags. In addition, it is important to remember that a clutch is a bag, not a wallet, so its size must be appropriate for its purpose.

How to sew a clutch?

Today, perhaps every girl or woman has clutches. After all, at its core, clutch - small handbag, in which you can place all the essentials - a wallet, a cell phone, hygiene items. Clutches can be different - evening, everyday, elegantly decorated or simple...

Some time ago I was ordered to do a master class on sewing an everyday clutch. And only now, after a certain amount of time, I can post the work on my personal sewing blog.

Here we go? How to sew a clutch - photo master class with explanations.

Materials and tools:

1. Main fabric;
2. Lining fabric;
3. Flap, trimmings of natural or artificial leather(leatherette, dermantine) for decoration in the form of a flower;

4. 3 pieces of finished bias tape (1.5 cm wide) made of leatherette:
- length 37 cm for handle
- 6 cm long for attaching a ring;
- 21 cm long for edging a clutch.

All of the above details of point 4. at your discretion, can be cut from the main fabric, use bias tape, grosgrain ribbon or strips of skin.

5. Thick woven adhesive lining - dublin, non-woven or collar dublin;
6. Magnetic button, ring for sewing on the handle.

Operating procedure

Paragraph 1

Pattern-scheme of a clutch. Sizes can be varied depending on your wishes.

According to the diagram, cut out 1 clutch piece from the main and lining fabrics, not forgetting to leave seam allowances (1-1.5 cm around the entire perimeter).

Point 2

Strengthen the main part of the clutch with an adhesive pad on the wrong side. At this stage, you can strengthen the top with padding polyester. But in my case, the gasket is dense, hard dublin, and therefore I did not use padding polyester here.

Point 3

Magnetic button, placed on the lining fabric. To install a magnetic button, you need to reinforce it with a gasket top part valve To do this, you need to mark the place where the button is attached, not forgetting about the seam allowances.

Cut small holes using a ripper. Insert magnetic button. Bend the metal “tongues” in different directions.

Front view of the button.

Point 4

Cut out 2 inner pocket pieces from lining fabric. The dimensions of the pocket can be completely arbitrary. You can sew a clutch without any internal pockets at all. When cutting, I proceeded from the dimensions of my cell phone.

Place the 2 pieces right sides together and sew along the outline, leaving a small hole for turning inside out. Cut seam allowances close to the stitching.

Turn the part inside out, iron it, stitch along the contour.

Sew the pocket symmetrically to the lining piece.

Point 5

Place the clutch pieces with right sides facing inward and pin together.

Insert between them a piece of leather with a ring, folded in half.

Sew along three sides, leaving the bottom unstitched.

Turn it inside out and steam it through damp gauze, smoothing out all the seams. Outer side:

Inner side:

Edge the part that remains unstitched with bias leather (or fabric) trim.

Point 6

Fold the blank for the clutch, sew the sides together with a single stitch and stitch the flap.

Point 7

Place the second part of the magnetic button. To more accurately determine the location of the button attachment, it is advisable to put something inside the clutch for volume. And only then mark the place for the button. On the wrong side, I close the place where the button is attached by manually sewing a rectangular piece of lining fabric with blind stitches.

The clutch is almost ready, all that remains is to embellish it a little.

Clause 8

Thread a strap into the ring and sew it on. The strap length can be any according to your wishes.

Clause 9

Make a fluffy one from a piece of artificial leather volumetric flower. Oh yes, before I forget - there is another clutch of mine with a flower - denim with red stitching, I invite you to look.

Attach it to the lid (valve) of the clutch: sewing it with strong threads or gluing it with textile glue.

Well, in fact, that’s all - you can go for a walk, taking a new thing with you.

It is advisable to take soft but dense leather so that it can hold its shape and not stretch too much. Since the clutch is without lining, back side skin is also important, let it be beautiful;-)

One medium skin is enough for a clutch of this size. (approximately 50-60 sq.dm). Of course, it may turn out that one skin will be too much or too little, it all depends on the skin - on how many defects there are on it.

genuine cattle leather, approximately 1.5-2 mm thick, - for decoration (valves, handle, handle fastening, lock tail). You can also use MPC, but in 2 layers.

2 zippers, from 30 cm long, it is better to take detachable ones.

short handle made of leather (you can take ready-made ones).

long handle- optional, I have a 120cm chain, I assembled it myself (attached carabiners and connecting rings), but you can buy a ready-made one.

holniten for decoration and attachment of handles.

punch and press or other device for installing holniten,

2 half rings(1-2cm) for attaching handles.

1. We build a pattern.

2. Cut out the parts from leather.

If the skin has creases and bruises, you can iron it from the inside out with an iron, on medium setting, be sure to use thin fabric. It is better to first try on a piece from the edge of the skin so that you can understand how the skin will react to the heat of the iron.

4 details A(24 cm by 15 cm) - for external pockets,

2 details B(24 cm by 12 cm) - for an internal pocket with a zipper.

IMPORTANT. The pattern under the letter B is auxiliary; we will need it during the sewing process; we do not cut out such a part.

We place the pattern pieces on the skin so that the leather stretches more in width than in the length of the product. The main load is on the vertical, p.e. There should ideally be no stretching along vertical lines.

We got the following details:

2 parts will be external, 2 - internal.

External we'll name the details A1(2 pcs.).

Domestic - A2(2 pcs.).

On one external part I sewed a patch pocket with a flap, and left the second part as is. You don’t have to do anything, then the clutch will be the same on both sides.

For the internal parts (A2), we process the upper edge.

Just turn it in 1cm, glue it, tap the hem with a hammer. And we sew at a distance of 0.7-0.8 mm from the edge.
Tap again on the front side.

We get 2 details like this:

As a result, we get these 4 parts A:

4. Shorten the zipper.

We have two zippers - it’s better to take detachable ones. Length - not less than 30 cm.

We leave the zipper for the external fastener as is for now.

We will shorten the zipper for the internal pocket to 21 cm.

To do this, we simply cut it to 20.8 cm. We melt the cut edge and make a leather frame on it.

The result is a lock with a frame on one side, 21 cm long.

I stitched the frame by hand (after gluing it with glue):

The lightning is already ready for him. Therefore, we sew in a lock.

The width of our parts is 24cm, the length of the zipper is 21cm.

It turns out that there are 1.5 cm allowances on each side.

We sew the zipper in the usual way: we connect the front sides of the part and the zipper, make a stitch at a distance of 0.7 mm from the edge (the usual width of the foot).

We tuck the free edges of the zipper (at the very beginning).

We turn it over, tap it with a hammer, glue it from the inside out, tap it again with a hammer (mallet), make a topstitch, grabbing the fold from the inside out.

We cut off the free ends of the zipper (which we tucked in) and melt them.

This creates a blank for the inner pocket.

Collapsed side view:

6. Sew in the external lock.

Take the 2 outer parts A1 and connect them with a zipper.Like this:

Everything is the same - we connect one part and half of the lock with the front sides inward, make a line. The distance from the edge at the beginning of the lock is 1.5 cm, at the end - 2 cm.

We repeat the same thing with the second part and half of the lock, making sure that it turns out symmetrically and evenly. I put a lot of marks on the lock and parts to connect them in the right places))

We sorted out the locks.

Now we have this beauty:

Plus two internal parts A2.

Ideally, the internal and external parts should match in height (on the internal parts, 1 cm was spent on the hem, on the external ones, approximately 1 cm was spent on the lock).

You can check by placing them next to each other.

If suddenly it doesn’t coincide)) we just cut it)) cut off the excess so that the parts become the same in height again.

7. Sew the inner pocket.

Well, now the real thing begins main secret our complex design))

Before we start sewing the pocket itself, we will sew the internal A2 pieces to it.

For this we will need auxiliary pattern B (see photo with patterns).

Lay out the inner pocket blank wrong side up, find the middle (12 cm) horizontally and put a mark. We attach the pattern like this (combining the middle points).

Pay attention to where the top of the pattern is - at the seam of the lock.

We transfer the pattern to both halves of the workpiece.

Now we take one to make A2 and connect it to our workpiece (right sides inward.)

We connect, secure with clamps or clothespins.

We make a line on the machine strictly along the line.

IMPORTANT. In the photo below, I once again marked where exactly the line begins and ends. We start the stitching slightly above the lock seam (0.1 mm)

We sew. The lock can be unfastened for convenience.

We sewed it, turn it over, look)

We repeat everything with the second internal part A2.

Connect with right sides facing inward.

We stitch, starting from the lock.

Result:

But now we can sew the pocket itself, despite the details sewn on the sides)

To do this, we will carefully roll up these parts, tuck them in and place everything inside, turning the pocket blank inside out.

Collapse:

Fold and bend:

Fold along the floors (right sides inward).

Secure with clamps. It turns out to be such a bar.

Now we unfasten the lock (otherwise we won’t be able to unscrew it later).

And at a distance of 0.5 -0.7 mm from the edge we make a line.

If your machine doesn’t handle thick sections at the beginning and end of the stitching well, you can then stitch them again by hand - into the same holes).

Turn it inside out and straighten the skin. We begin to understand that everything is simple))))

We tap the seam. The inner pocket is ready.

8. Sew external, side pockets.

We take a blank from parts A1.

We unfasten the lock and work with only one half. I took the empty half without a pocket first.

We take a blank with an internal pocket and one of the parts A1.

We connect parts A1 and A 2 with the front sides inward.

I understand that the pocket itself and the second part A2 are in the way.

We do the same as when sewing an internal pocket - we bend, fold, fold) and try not to notice the interfering parts)).

See, they're inside.

And we have a bar again)) which we stitch at a distance of 0.5 -0.7 cm from the edge.

IMPORTANT. The locks in the finished product should “look” in one direction; this must be taken into account immediately when sewing on the first part A1.

Turn it inside out and tap the seam.

It’s already beautiful) All that remains is to connect the last external part A1 with the almost finished clutch.

The scheme is the same)) We bend, fold, fold the unnecessary parts, and connect the necessary ones - the free parts A2 and A2 - with the right sides inward.

Tuck:

We connect parts A1 and A2.
