Yesterday I made a pattern for a clutch purse that I call "Borsetta" because it is inspired by a vintage Italian clutch.

The Italian clutch was made with a zip top, no pockets... just a place to keep your stuff! I kept the zip top, but couldn't resist adding a pocket to the inside. I like a little pocket for business cards or cash.

I kept the diagnal pleats on the bag front. They give the bagg a certain panache, don' t you think?

Overall dimensions are:

top width: 12"

bottom width: 13"

height: 9 1/2"

For this bagg I used a softly patterned rusty brown mock suede fabric and added a top border of tapestry with acorns and pine cones. The lining is brown decorator cotton. I am listing it on my ETSY store today.
