I’m so excited I made my first Frame Clutch Purse!
Next week I’ll be attending the Alt Summit in SLC. I’m excited but admittedly a bit nervous. I don’t want to feel like a fish out of water as I’ve heard there are some insanely talented people attending.
I’ve started to pull a few things together to take with me, and resisting the urge to buy a whole new wardrobe!
I did treat myself to this fun necklace from Lulubelles, Gretchen, one of the owners is also a Kentucky girl and attending Alt .
I did decide that I needed a new business card holder and decided to tackle making a frame clutch purse. I wanted one to match my bag that I made a couple of years ago, it travels with me a lot and I love it. It’s my July Bag Pattern that you can find in my shop.
This week I broke down and figured out how to make a frame clutch. I had purchased the frame earlier at Joann’s and was saving it for a special occasion. I decided that this would be a good reason to cut up some of my coveted Melody Miller fabric.
Instead of posting a tutorial, as I will admit to TOTALLY messing up the first one, THEN going back to read the directions.. I thought I would post a round up of some frame clutch tutorials I’ve been collecting on my INSPIRATION: Sewing Pinterest Board.

I’m happy with how mine turned out and learned a lot trying to make it. I think I’m up for trying to make a bigger one next time… anyone have a favorite source for Frames for these clutches?
Oh I love that little typewriter frame purse. I’m going to have to make one of those for myself. I have to admit that I’m a little addicted to making those sew-in frame purses though so far I haven’t made any big ones, only several of the smaller coin purses. As for sources… a while I ago I participated in a sew-in frame coin purse blog hop and I made a post of sources to buy the frames. http://www.supermomnocape.com/2012/11/12/sources-for-sew-in-coin-purse-frames/
Your whole accessory ensemble will be adorable for your trip! You will be the belle of the ball! :)
I especially love the typewriter clutch. If you ever sell those in your shop, please let me know. I would totally buy one!
Your clutch is beautiful! Aren’t they so fun to make? And thank you so much for posting a link to my Love Letter Clutch! :)
Love the way it turned out! You are one talented momma! Can’t wait for Alt. :)
