Because the bags are relatively small, they require only tiny amounts of fabric and trimmings, so you can use expensive materials, such as vintage silk and beautiful beads. A quick way of stitching pieces together is to stitch them in a chain as shown, and then cut them apart later. With right sides I together, match dot on strip to dot on square, strip from outer edge to dot, backstitching at (Fig. 4). Hermes Evening Clutch. Cut out two pieces measuring 21.5 x 60cm, for the upper part of the stocking and sew on to the foot pieces, see figure A. With right sides together, raw edges even, and seams matching, pin one diamond/triangle to another. Use a craft knife with a single or double blade to cut narrow slits along traced lines (Fig. 23).
