Perfect for Beginner Bag Makers
If you’ve never made a bag before, this is a fantastic place to start. The Simply Classic Clutch tutorial will help learn the fundamentals of how a bag is constructed.

Designer-Inspired Quilting Pattern
The iconic cannage quilting pattern adds a luxurious finish to this clutch. For a different look, substitute classic diamond quilting or another pattern instead.

Sewing Machine Requirements

It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather or cotton canvas, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.
