  Step 1

  Snag a vintage needlepoint table runner (mine measured 1m x 40cm)

• 

  Step 2

  if necessary, mend any bits that might not have aged so well

• 

  Step 3

  lay it face down on a flat surface

• 

  Step 4

  fold one end about 3/4 up to the other, decide how long you’d like the top flap to be & mark

• 

  Step 5

  open up the table runner then fold the long end halfway up to the top flap mark

• 

  Step 6

  equally fold the remaining length under the first fold – you should now have a doubled-up end & a top flap

• 

  Step 7

  pin the sides together & zip over to your machine

• 

  Step 8

  stitch the sides together

• 

  Step 9

  find a lovely coordinating button in your stash

• 

  Step 10

  bust out the button-hole foot & put it to work on the top flap

• 

  Step 11

  carefully slice through the fabric between the button-hole stitches

• 

  Step 12

  stitch on your button

• 

  Step 13

  and your done!

• 

  Step 14

  & because the table runner was doubled up, the clutch has 2 awesome compartments inside!

• 

  Step 15

  fancy schmancy, eh?
