A cute DIY envelope purse is a stylish accessory and a handy item for a tablet or a pocket reader. If you are familiar with simple sewing, you can easily make such a purse at home, with the help of the usual needle. What’s more, you’ll have all space for creativity and designing.
THINGS TO REMEMBER BEFORE YOU START MAKING ENVELOPE CLUTCH PURSE

Before you begin, you need to determine the style of the envelope purse you would like to have. This will also determine the further choice of fabric or another material for the outer side of the purse, its inside, and its decorations.
Let’s check out the existing options:
The outer material: you are free to use whatever you want. Ankara fabric for a casual relaxed look, velour or velvet for going out in the evening, faux leather to rock the style, and silk for a romantic touch
The inside: depending on the purpose, you can make it simple enough or attach an inner pocket, for instance, to keep credit cards, mobile phone, and other small but valuable items
HOW TO MAKE ENVELOPE STYLE PURSE AT HOME
Now, let’s check out a step-by-step guide to sewing an envelope purse at home within a couple of hours.
If you are planning to sew an envelope purse to store a tablet or another device in it, then, measure the item first and add a couple of inches to its longest dimension. For instance, the device is 4 inches wide and 6 inches long. Then, the width of your envelope purse will be approximately 8 inch
Cut a rectangular piece of the material meant for the outer side of the purse. Now, we take the smaller dimension of the device, add a couple of inches for room and seams, and measure it three times on the piece of the material. The piece we need to cut will be about 18 inches long

You can have the flap rectangular as it is or create other shapes. Cut off the corners to create a characteristic envelope shape or round the flap up as you like
If you decide to use the interfacing to make the purse firmer, then, cut several pieces of this material that are 2 inches shorter than the top layer and 2 inches narrower
Cut a piece of lining that’s exactly as big as the top layer
Put the piece of the top material right side up on the table and cover it with the lining wrong side up. This way, you will have the right sides of the materials face each other
Use pins to keep them in place and sew together all the edges apart from one narrow end
When done, turn the sewed pieces right side out and carefully iron them flat. Now they look like a bag with an opening
