Clam Shell Wristlet Purse – Seasonal Sewing Series

Hi, I’m Rhonda from Rhonda’s Creative Life. I’m so excited about having the opportunity to come to you as a guest of So Sew Easy. I have an extra special project for you today, my clam shell wristlet.

Party season will soon be upon us and every party dress needs the perfect little purse.

Clam shell wristlet, free purse sewing pattern.

It’s perfect for any holiday function!

It will hang from your wrist and give you the freedom to enjoy a few hor dourvers or dance the night away and never worry about what might have happened to your bag.

The bag can easily be customized with a special zipper pull. I made mine from a few leftover beads.

I've included the pattern pieces and the full step by step photo instructions in two separate downloads for you to print and keep.  So download the pattern and the directions and make a bag for that special holiday function.

The little purse is really cute. Thanksgiving was not a good time this year. We had to bury my oldest sister. But I’m really looking forward to Christmas. My sister was a great sewist and crafter.

We’re going to one “party” this season – we go see friends every year. He cooks bbq and has an open bar, and we all laugh and have fun. No fuss, no muss!

My party plans…my sister and I are planning a little family & close friends get together. We tried last year but it just didn’t work out with everyone’s busy schedules. Hoping we can get it to happen this year!!

We usually just chill and veg at home, the family that is. Play board games, eat leftovers, watch movies, hang out in our new pj’s and do nothing!

I’m going with my family to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree & all the nearby NYC Christmas store fronts. Visiting family & friends this year – it’s not my turn to host. It makes things a little more relaxing too.
