A Newly Improved Poopy Clutch Tutorial

May 7, 2009
I had to make myself another poopy clutch (the old one was misplaced) and thought I could do much better than the tutorial/pattern I gave you last year. Without any further ado, I give you THREE versions of the old tutorial!! The new patterns are smaller and still fit up to 3 size 4 diapers plus a travel wipes case!! Very convenient for undercover diaper bags (aka purses). _dsc0999sm-1 Materials Notes: It might be useful to note where my supplies can be found. Button studs, Leather (you'll want 2-3 ounce leather for this project) and hole punches can be found online at tandyleatherfactory.com, or check out their store locator for the store nearest you. (I sound like an advertisement, but seriously they have everything.) As seen below, you can also use leather, vinyl or fused plastic. The folks at Etsy labs have a great tutorial on fusing plastic bags. I've seen some really cool fused bag projects.

The No-Sew Version + SCALLOPED EDGE This version is my personal favorite. It's just like the first, it's made for leather, vinyl or fused plastic, but with a decorative scalloped edge to add a little flirty flair to those messy diapering sessions. No sewing required.
