Here's a close up of the fabric:
It's from Liberty! It feels very soft and nice and EXPENSIVE.

I was fortunate enough to obtain the Art Nouveau fabric in a lucky dip bag from my good friend Helen, it seems to be vintage 60s or 70s but there was only a small amount of it so a clutch seemed like the best option. To make the clutch I used an existing one for a template and made it a little bigger, cut the fabric plus another scrap of a bluey grey linen for lining, one of thick interfacing and one of wadding so it would have a lot of stability. Then I sandwiched it all together, used scraps of blue bias binding for the edges and finished it with a button and loop closure to keep all my precious rubbish inside! It was a bit of a fiddly process at times but well worth it for a fabulous bag.
