DIY clutch!

Here's a super easy 5-step DIY leather fold over clutch tutorial. Unfolded, it can also be used as a laptop protector. Have fun with it by customize your clutches by choosing your own sizes and fabric/zipper colours.

Materials:

-leather/faux leather

-zipper

-ruler

-fabric scissors 

-pins

-sewing machine 

Step 1: Cut 2 pieces of leather in the same size. (The size is up to you, here they are both 11"x15" because I want my 13" laptop to fit)

Step 2:  With right sides together, sew the zipper to one of the leather pieces. Using your zipper foot on your machine will make this easier.

Step 3: This is the trickiest part- take your second leather piece and do the exact same this you did in step 2, but on the other side of the zipper. Make sure right sides are together!

Step 4: Pin the two leather pieces along the three other edges. Open the zipper and sew along those three sides. (Here, the zipper is on the right side of the image)

Step 5: Once sewn, clip the bottom corners to reduce bulk and turn the clutch inside out. Poke all four corners, fold over and voila!
