    Thanks futuregirl, I took lots of pictures for every step I made. Those posted one are the best photographed and illustrated.
    I could complete sewing a purse in a day or two, but with the photograph, it took me 4 days!!!

    Hi – I really like this tutorial! I have a question though – what is poly-sponge?? Might it be called by another name here in the UK? Any suggestions on what to look for here would be great!

    Thank you!

      The poly sponge is a kind of polyester batting, it comes with or without iron adhesive. If you can’t find those with adhesive, you can always use high loft quilt batting.
      Hope this help :)

    If I may ask: what are the dimensions for the pattern? I’d like to give this type of clutch a try & I’m still new to sewing. Thank you!

      I have misplaced the paper pattern. Will let you know the dimension as soon as I find it.

        I think the fastest way you can do is estimate the widest width of the Pattern A as 10.5cm. Use this scale to get the rest of the dimensions. The actual length from a to a is more than 8.5cm, so you have to gather the curve a little when you sew to the frame, this will make purse more “chubby”.
        Hope this help.
