Take the DIVA ENVELOPE CLUTCH to your next crafting retreat!
It's a portfolio style clutch designed to carry around your important papers. (Like maybe pattern pieces?) It literally looks like an envelope when open. The single compartment interior is roomy enough to fit standard size (letter) file folders and manila envelopes. The pieced construction method ensures that the lining will stay put and not pull out like conventional "loose" linings. For work purposes, it makes an excellent alternative to carrying around a full briefcase if you’re heading off to a meeting. The large zippered pocket on the back will accommodate odds and ends that need to be secured. When made with different fabrics, it's suitable for all ages and genders.
This is classified as a beginner project because there's really nothing too difficult about it, but I would recommend that you have previously made a simple bag or two and have experience in putting in a zippered pocket.

A budding seamstress in my youth, I abandoned the hobby for almost three decades. Then I discovered that people sewed "stuff" besides clothes and quilts. What an eye-opener! The discovery led to a personal sewing journey... one that has seen me progress from student to designer. Check in with me every Saturday morning to see what new discoveries I've made and soak up inspiration from freebies that you won't find here. (P.S. Looking for the best deal? My patterns are ALWAYS sale priced directly from my blog... some are even free!) Check it out at esheepdesigns.blogspot.com
