Naughty Notions Clutch is done! Are you curious about how I made this clutch? I hope so because I made a little tutorial just for you: The first thing I did was cut a perfect rectangle from vinyl. Then, I took some wide black lace and tacked it on to the right side of the vinyl with a stripe of Mod Podge. I started with a thin line of 'podge so I could tweak the positioning of my lace until I was sure it was exactly where I wanted it. Next, I saturated the lace with 'podge, avoiding the vinyl, and allowed it to dry.
I trimmed two corners off to form the edge of the flap. While the 'podge was drying, I made a zippered pouch for the interior of my clutch. I clipped the zippered pouch to the sides of the vinyl because you can't pin vinyl.I stitched the pouch and trimmed it even even with the vinyl.I finished all the edges with a black double folded bias tape.
