Place the right sides together of the outer and lining and sew the upper and bottom. Leave a 4-inch opening in the bottom.
Turn right side out.
Fold it in half and align the side of the outer fabric first. Turn wrong side out. Fit the side linings.
Sew the side seam with an allowance of about 3/8″.
Turn right side out through the opening. Then sew a middle line of the bag.
Topstitch all the way around of the top of the bag entrance and bottom of the bag.
Fold the bag in half, and sew both sides.
Attach wrist strap, and the Clutch Bag is ready!
