Clutch Purse – It is functional and made in an easy stitch, so is ideal if you are just starting out or a beginner.
There is only a small amount of sewing involved, you can crochet it up very quickly (I made it in a morning), make the main part of the purse in one solid color and the flap in a different color to match your outfit.
