I’m delighted to say that this design was shortlisted by the Unwind Brighton Design Competition! That has now ended so the pattern is now available to buy. Thank you to everyone who voted for me!

‘Blue Belle’ Clutch Bag:

Made from 3 balls of Rowan Original Denim yarn, this understated and textural clutch bag is the perfect vintage-style accessory to any day out.
From the beach to the city, the market to the country, stow your sunglasses, lipstick and other essentials in this tough travelling companion for effortless daytripper chic!

Rowan Original Denim gives a wonderful washed-out effect when the instructions on the ball band are followed. This highlights the textured stitches. The finished object also shrinks, so I do recommend that you use the yarn specified for a successful result. This bag has the added advantage of not needing to be lined.

You can complete the project with a pair of gorgeous buttons to suit your taste. I used 1” domed vintage livery buttons.

Written in UK terminology, but very easy to translate.

Do let me know if you encounter any issues with the pattern, thanks
