This is a really nifty clutch made out of some pretty patterned tea towels. I imagine some very stiff interfacing, whether sewn-in or iron on, must be used for the clutch to retain its shape. Using webbing for the carry strap would indeed save time as the instructions indicate. Nice gift idea too.

Did you order too many tea towls or get too many form your house warming party than why not make some messenger bags. This is a great use for them and so fast and easy with this great tutorial to guide you. I would have never thought of this. It is such a clever idea and looks great when done and you can even add some embllishments on them too. Thanks for idea.
