Instructions
Step 1
If a purse lies idle at home, you can easily make a clutch out of it with your own hands. Remove all accessories from the purse and cover it with lining. To do this, cut out a rectangle from the satin lining fabric, equal in length to the distance from the top flap to the top of the front wall of the bag, taking into account the accordion bottom and 2 cm allowances. The width of the part is equal to the width of the base plus 1.5 cm for the allowance. Cut out the part for pasting the valve from the inside according to its size, adding 0.5 cm to the allowance. Process open cuts of parts on an overlock or zigzag seam.
Step 2
Begin to glue the fabric from the top edge of the flap from the outside. Using a heat gun (you can apply Moment Crystal glue with a brush), glue the fabric to the base, bending over the allowances on the inner side of the valve. Then paste over the inside of the valve. Attach one part of the magnet fastener to the glue from the inside.
Step 3
Next, carefully pulling the fabric so that there are no creases, cover the back wall of the purse, the bottom and the front wall with satin. Cut out blanks for the sidewalls and paste over the side accordions and open cuts. Duplicate the details of the lining from guipure or lace and paste over the handbag in the same order. Fix the lace instead of glue with blind stitches by hand. Place the second part of the clasp on the front wall of the clutch.
Step 4
Using the hardware removed from the purse, attach the chain handle so that you can carry the clutch over your shoulder. Decorate your purse with a brooch or other decorative items. A new clutch bag, made with your own hands from an old purse, will cost you completely free. It is perfect for a smart suit, stylish dress.
