Tutorial and pattern: Envelope clutch wristlet

My everyday bag has to be big enough to carry all the stuff I might need when out and about, but for special occasions a wristlet is the perfect size. It’s big enough to carry phone and ID, but not big enough to be cumbersome.

It’s a simple envelope style clutch that’s easy to sew. Choose a fabric that coordinates with your outfit for the perfect evening out accessory.
