DIY Laser cut clutch bag. Step by step

I've been looking for a laser cut clutch for a while now and I just can't find one. well...not one I can afford. so I decided to make my own. Here is a step by step post on how I made it. It needs a lot of patience to make but it looks awesome when done.

You need,some fabric (a hard one preferably. I used neoprene with black on one side and grey on the other. 2 for 1! yaay), a pair of scissors, a blade, a maker pen, measuring tape and/or ruler, a zip and some pins.

First, draw some patterns onto your fabric with the marker pen. It can be any pattern you like. I did geometric shapes.

Once you've filled the whole piece with the patterns, start cutting using the blade or scissors.

When that's done, its time to inserts the zip. Sew one side of the zip to the short piece of fabric and the other side to the longer piece. Once this is done, zip the zip together and cut off any excess.

Unzip the zip and sew the edges of the plain bits of fabric together (remember to sew them inside out because you gotta turn them out) then turn right side.

 

Hope that was helpful
