Fold Over Clutch using Reclaimed Fabrics, A Sewing Tutorial

[@ziggiezag938]

Tip: When I make bags, I put an invisible zipper in the bottom of the lining. That way I have an extra space to hide extra cash or if a repair needs to be made, it provides easy access.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing, Julia

[@TheAAdele05]

Great ideas!!!!

[@marybrown9207]

I love how you play with fabric and especially with your machine, thanks for being a huge inspiration !!! When I retires I got myself a nice new machine saying I’d “play” and learn new things and feet…. I haven’t YET !! Next winter I will, Yes I will. Thanks again, please keep the wonderful videos coming 😊

[@stitchesbyjulia]

I’m so glad you are enjoying the videos! Happy sewing, Julia

[@dewuknowofHyMn]

Julia...I LOVE every one of your videos... Great minds think alike !!

KZbin needs a "LOVE" button!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you! Your comment made me smile:)

[@RebeccaStokes-g6t]

BEAUTIFUL!💕Love how you used the vintage fabric remnants to make the patchwork front - works so beautifully with the denim. Gorgeous, yummy fabrics. Just love it! Your videos are so easy to understand the processes you use. Thank you so much!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thank you! 😊

[@brendaseverns9704]

Amazing!!! Can you tell that I'm binge-watching your channel again? 🥰

[@stitchesbyjulia]

You're the best!

[@melodine707]

You have SUCH a great eye for combining fabrics and so creative. You've inspired me to try this and zippers have always scared me. BUT...I'll soon be getting my own stash of velvety awesomeness. Thanks for all you do.

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi! I avoided zippers like the plague for years! I finally watched several videos and it is really simple- you can do this! Have fun playing with your stash of velvets- when you start with beautiful fabrics the designing is easy. Julia

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

I love this project !!! You are soooo creative ! Thank you for sharing this tutorial !!! 👏👏😁😍👍

[@svanwyk51]

I followed this video faithfully and was thrilled with the way it turned out. Thanks so much!

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Susan, I am so excited that you tried this project! If you are one instagram or facebook, post a pic and tag me @stitchesbyjulia. Thanks for watching! Julia

[@vegasvancitygirl9251]

Now this was cool! The zipper part ( lining it up) was nerve Racking But u really did such a great job with basically throw away scraps!!

[@evelynj.amponsah8417]

Love the upholstery fabric, stunning.

[@carolfuchs2774]

You are so creative and so willing to share with all of us. Thank you.

[@dorothygriffiths6626]

Hi Julia so lovely to have you back, I have really missed you. I hope you have had time to catch your breath and have some relaxation after your very busy summer. I absolutely love this little bag Juli, it is fabulous. I am getting more and into up-cycling fabrics and I have to say my favourite is denim. You made a wonderful job of it Julia as you always do. I have just started to make some Christmas projects, my eldest granddaughter and her lovely fiancé are getting married next year and they have just bought their first home together so I have just finished an Advent Calendar and some bunting (not my favourite sewing I have to say😀😀). I cannot believe summer is coming to a close and the nights are drawing in. The weather here has been lovely so far though. Hope you are all doing well Julia, sending you all my love as always. Dorothy 🙋🏻😘❤️🌟🌟🌟

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Dorothy, Yes, I am finally taking a breather after a busy summer. It went to fast! I really love Fall and we are having a very warm week. The trees are beautiful! So exciting to hear about your granddaughter's upcoming wedding. She's lucky to have you for a talented Grandmom like you! I have one more outside craft show at the end of the month, then hope to get back to a regular schedule on KZbin. Have a great week! Julia

[@lnwmelon]

You explain this so well. And yours turned out beautiful. I’m excited to try this. Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely gorgeous creation Julia. Thank you so much for sharing the process. You are soo inspiring 💕

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Thanks so much Elizabeth! It's so wonderful to hear that viewers are enjoying my videos and are inspired. Happy creating! Julia

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

Hi Julia. I love the way you can put fabrics that look like they don't "play well" together and in the end, they all work! Adding unexpected touches like the lace and buttons give the purse your special signature. Hope you did well in your large, end of season sale. Take care, Phyllis

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Phyllis, I really thought this was ugly until the end LOL! It is fun to use fabrics in a different way. The big craft sale went good! Rain was in the forecast but it held off. I have one more at the end of this month, then I hope to spend more time with KZbin videos etc. I do really enjoy it. Hope all is well, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Julia

[@Phyllis-nk5ji]

stitchesbyjulia I always look forward to what idea you'll come up with. I think I went too far off track when I delved into the journal making and mixed media world. Now, I have so much I want to do, that it seems I don't get anything done. It's time that I concentrate on one or two things and focus in on them.

[@suekranick4415]

I have learned so much from you....you have such great ideas ❤😁

[@stitchesbyjulia]

So glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching. Julia

[@stitchesbyjulia]

Hi Pam, I agree- the next batch will have lining pockets! And a magnetic snap. Hope all is well. I am enjoying a warm Fall week. Love this time of year. We haven't decided yet where we are going. We plan on doing some exploring in the month of October. I have one more craft show at the end of the month then we are free to go! Have a great week! Julia
