FINISHING
Connect the right and left sides of the clutch body to each other and to the back by folding and
sewing them with a tapestry needle. You will have seams along the bottom of the clutch and
down the middle of the front (this will be covered by the flap).
Sew one button on the clutch body front to match the position of the button hole on the flap.
With a tapestry needle, weave in loose yarn.
