  Step 1

  Start by printing the PDF pattern and cutting it out. Be sure your printer is set to full size

  Place the pattern on your fabric with the straight edge on the fold..

  Trace around the pattern from top to bottom.

  You'll need to cut two of these pieces. One out of your outer fabric and one out of your lining fabric.

  This will be the back and flap of the clutch. Set those pieces aside.

• 

  Step 2

  Place the pattern on 2 more pieces of fabric just as you did in the previous step.

  Trace around the pattern starting at the dotted line.

• 

  Step 3

  Use a ruler to get a straight top edge.

  This will be the front of your clutch

• 

  Step 4

  Your pieces should look like this

  -------------------------------->

• 

  Step 5

  To determine where you want to attach the snap, place the front outer piece on top of the lining piece.

  Attach the snap piece in the determined places

• 

  Step 6

  Next, we need to assemble the flower...

  You can use the petal provided in the pattern or create your own.

  Place the petal pattern on the fabric with the straight edge on the fold. Cut this out.

  You'll need to cut 5 of these petals.

• 

  Step 7

  Use fray check or zig zag stitch around the edges to prevent fraying

• 

  Step 8

  Fold the petal in half at the point.

  Make a small stitch to hold the edges together at the point

• 

  Step 9

  Repeat this process on all 10 ends of the petals

  Your point should look like this

  <-------------------------------

• 

  Step 10

  Make small gathering stitches down the center of each petal and gather the center.

• 

  Step 11

  Place two of the petals on top of each others cross ways. Hand stitch them together.

• 

  Step 12

  Place the third petal on top of the two at a diagonal
  Continue with the remaining petals hand stitching them together until you've completed your flower.

• 

  Step 13

  Cut a small strip of fabric.

  Fold and press it into thirds.

  Tie a knot in the center of the fabric and trim the tails.

• 

  Step 14

  Hand stitch the knot to the center of the flower.

• 

  Step 15

  Hand stitch the flower to the top of the outer back piece.

• 

  Step 16

  Let's put it all together...

  Place the lining and outer front pieces right sides together.

  Pin and sew along the top straight edge only.

• 

  Step 17

  Turn the piece right side out.

  Press the seam flat and top stitch it with a 1/8" seam allowance.

• 

  Step 18

  With the right sides together, sandwich the front piece between the lining and outer back pieces.

• 

  Step 19

  Carefully pin and sew.

  You'll have to fold the flower back out of the way.

  Leave a small opening at the bottom

• 

  Step 20

  Use the small opening to turn your bag right side out.

• 

  Step 21

  Press the bag flat and straighten it out.

  Top stitch along the top flap with a 1/8" seam allowance

  Slip stitch the bottom opening

• 

  Step 22
