Ashton Avenue Clutch
Ashton Avenue Clutch
Because every other stitch is slipped, Linen stitch creates a dense, firm fabric resembling woven tapestry.
I enhanced this quality by working with a needle several sizes smaller than usual to produce an envelope clutch perfectly sized to hold just your essentials and perhaps a tiny treasure or two. A large snap keeps the flap closed, while a spectacular button sewn on the outside pretends to do the job.
