You can use a machine or hand sew. If sewing isn\u2019t in your skill set, recruit a friend or family member with seamstress skills to help. It only takes a half hour to create the lining and set the zipper. I have filmed a step-by-step instructional video to walk you through the process. I have also created a video teaching you how to make a wrist strap to coordinate with the clutch, so check the <a href=\"http:\/\/funcrochetdesigns.com\/crochet\/index.php\/helpful-tips\/\">Tips<\/a> page for these kinds of handy tutorials!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials Needed:<\/strong><br \/>\nOmega La Espiga Nylon Cord Size 18 (1 roll typically makes 2 clutches) (Available at <a href=\"https:\/\/creativeyarnsource.com\/shop\/about-nylon\/18-la-espiga2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Creative Yarn Source<\/a>)<br \/>\nCrochet Hook F (3.75 mm) or G (4.25 mm)<br \/>\n9&#8243; &#8211; 11\u2033 zipper<br \/>\n1\/4 yard of material for lining<br \/>\nMatching thread<br \/>\n1\/2\u2033 keyring (optional)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skill Level:<\/strong><br \/>\nIntermediate<\/p>\n<p><strong>Finished Dimensions:<\/strong><br \/>\n5.5\u2033H X 9\u2033W<\/p>\n<p><strong>General Information:<\/strong><br \/>\nThis listing is for a <em>pattern only<\/em>, not a completed product.
