DIY Frame Clutch Ideas

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?
