Imagine the situation!!
There is a birthday coming up in a couple of day’s time and you want to gift a handmade, since your friend is a craft-lover and a crafter herself.
There is total chaos going around you, at home and in workplace, since you have relocated recently. And worse, you can not locate / yet to unpack, all of your craft supply.
You look up the net for something pretty-yet-simple-yet-a-quick-one and the ones you can locate is not exactly what you have in mind.
You are slowly getting towards your tether’s end, as you do not want to be late for sending the gift!
So what do you do, close your eyes and conjure up a simple basic design which matches your above-mentioned criteria.
Then hunt out the available yarns and select what you had in mind and after a few frogging here and there……..you are there!! And you are happy with what you have made!
No, it would not be masterpiece and not a top-of-the-designer-line thing, but it matches the conjured images and serves the purpose!

And that’s exactly is the story behind Jaldi Clutch.
It’s small clutch purse about 9” x 5.5” in dimensions, where one can keep the notions and it can be carried around with the craft in hand. Or if you are going out in a hurry to pick up some essentials from your neighbourhood grocer, your house-keys, mobile and wallet will fit in comfortably.
And it gets done in a jiffy hence the name Jaldi (Jaldi is a Hindi/Urdu word which translates to Quick, yes plain and simple quick!).
