In this video I show you start to finish how to sew this confident beginner clutch wallet on my Juki TL-2000Qi domestic sewing machine. The pattern can be purchased on my website at lindshandmade.com
I'm using quilting cotton fabric for these instructions, but I also show you the minor changes needed if you choose to use vinyl, cork, or leather for yours (I will say, if you use anything other than quilting cotton, it does bump the difficulty level to intermediate and you should have a sewing achine that can handle such materials). I've made these out of all cork, all vinyl, a mixture of leather & waterproof canvas, as well as straight quilting cotton inside and out, and all turn out beautifully! So, get creative with yours!
These require a 7½” closed ended bar clasp closure.
