Glamour Clutch

The Glamour Clutch can be used to hold your essentials for running errands, for a night out or as a project bag. The metal frame and felt lining (see pattern notes) allows the bag to sit upright when open. Perfect for carrying your knitting project. It holds all your day or evening essentials such as purse, phone, lipstick etc. Beads are added using the crochet hook method (tutorial link included in pattern). Pattern also includes a link to a tutorial for how to make the lining and assemble the bag.
