I decided not to add a strap, as I think the clutch purse is just right for this fancy fabric. I used three hand-sewn pieces of Velcro the flap to make it stay closed. The inside is a shiny pink moire satin
that I have gobs of for some reason. Maybe it was to line a pair of curtains that never got made.
If you would like to see more of how this purse was made, just search my blog for Creative Challenge or Trash-to-Treasure.
