Small Clutch Bag --- Stitching made easy

So let us get to the stitching of the clutch bag.

First step will be to attatch the main cloth,canvas and lining cloth together.

If you zoom in closer you can see that I have used pink colour chalk to mark the points where the clutch will be folded.

Also I have marked the place where the flap for the outside zipper will come.

                                                       

Here in this picture you can see the line of stitching to fix the flap of cloth which will be turned in to cover the raw edges of the zipper.After I make a cut in between the two lines of stitches,I have turned the cloth inside and put a stitch along the edge.

Now to fix the zipper,place it along the gap and stitch along the edge of the bag.

To get avialable zipper we need to place a cloth the size of the pocket you need and 

place it over the flap on the inside of the bag and stitch it along the edges

Now stitch another pocket with a zipper and stitch along the two sides keeping it on top of the pocket stitched earlier.

This zipper pocket will be present inside the bag.I have stitched along the bottom of this pocket too so that I now have two separate copartments inside when I fold the bag to how it loos.

Before that I have stitched a red piping along the four sides.

Then fold along the point marked and stitch on both sides.
