Step-by-step guide

• Marking and cutting of  the bag:
• Print the pattern draft at “Actual size” or “100% scale”. Cut out the paper pattern pieces along the solid black line.
• On the wrong side of the fabric, trace and cut the pieces from the exterior fabric and lining fabric  as instructed on each pattern piece. Repeat to cut the woven interfacing and fleece interfacing. Required numbers are mentioned on pattern. Cut that much pieces.
• Important: The pattern includes a seam allowance of ½” throughout. So there's no need to take any additional margins while cutting. 
• Fuse batting with Exterior pieces. First attach woven interfacing and fusible fleece together, by iron/basting, and than fuse with wrong side of all exterior.

Stitching interior fabric- lining of Clutch- Take the pieces of lining fabric. Sew on the three sides with a ½ “seam allowance, leaving a 4″ gap at the bottom center. This is left to turn the  bag inside out. 

Assembling the bag- 

• Make sure exterior of the clutch must be right side out and lining should be wrong side out.
• Place the whole clutch  exterior inside the bag lining. Tuck the flap down inside. Line up the side seams and the raw edges and baste/pin them together. Fig 4
• Stitch all the way around the top of the clutch with ½” seam allowance.
• Now pull the clutch right side out through the hole you left in the lining. Press as best you can, and tuck the lining inside the bag.
• Top stitch all around the top of the bag with a ¼” seam allowance.
• Slip stitch the gap in the lining and close it. And you're finished!
