Vintage beauty, practicality and thrift are combined to make this updated version of a 1940’s clutch - the gimp is a great choice for the bag. Not only was it used in the 1940’s, but it is sturdy, heardwearing, holds its shape and creates a firm fabric that doesn’t need lining.

ERRATA: Unfortunately, there’s a (small) error in the Inside Crochet printed pattern. The first row worked after the Foundation Tr extension row should be Row 1, followed by Row 2 (not Row 2 followed by Row 1!) The bag is then worked in pattern throughout.
