The Necessary Clutch Wallet by Emmaline Bags isn't just your ordinary wallet - it's meant to stand out on its own and be appreciated as the perfect compliment to your outfit.  This functional wallet features many storage pockets to safekeep all of your essentials, including (2) large pockets, (12) card slot pockets, (1) zipper change pocket, (2) narrow pockets in the front and back and (1) center pocket. The center pocket is perfect for holding larger items such as your phone, keys, or checkbook.  With all of the pocket possibilities, it's easy to keep your favorite items safe and secured when you're on the go!

The pattern offers two sizes - Mini and Regular - however, in class we'll be making the Regular sized wallet which measures 8" in legnth x 4" in height x 1" in depth.

During this 4-week class, students will enhance their sewing skills by working with zippers and turn locks.  The first class will include a cutting session to prepare the fabric, leaving the remaining three classes for bag construction and completion.  This class is suitable for intermediate sewists who can confidently operate a sewing machine independently and are looking for a new fun project to make!
