Sewing pattern to make the Dorothy Clutch Bag - PDF pattern INSTANT DOWNLOAD
$8.00
Description
Please note: If you wish to make a few bags from Charlie’s Aunt sewing patterns or books to sell, please read the rules in the "additional information" section of our policies page.
Inspired by the simple envelope ‘clutch’ bags of the early 1930’s, this PDF SEWING PATTERN is for a small, neat, easily constructed bag in the style of its 20th century predecessors. It owes its elegance to the striking asymmetric flap and choice of a single large bow or vintage style cabbage rose and leaf, stitched on at a jaunty angle.
One of the Charlie’s Aunt Utility Range of easier patterns and the most popular style from my book Making Vintage Bags, this great value PDF also includes templates and detailed instructions with photographs showing you how to make the pretty 1940s style cabbage rose trim, which also doubles as a corsage or adornment for a multitude of other sewn accessories.
This bag is a small size making it ideal for special occasions and can be made up in everything from bright patterned quilting fabrics to pretty pastel or polka dot needlecord.
This PDF pattern has 11 pages – 8 pages including photographs, detailed instructions and illustrations, plus 3 pages of full sized pattern templates which you must print on letter (A4) paper and cut out.

Important Copyright Information:
Although all of my patterns and books are covered by the copyright and patents act, I realise that several of my customers would like to be able to make a few items from my patterns to sell, so I have decided to allow it again, as long as they stick to the following rules:
* Make no more than 10 bags in a year to sell from any one Charlie’s Aunt pattern, and up to a MAXIMUM of 40 bags in total from a combination of any of my patterns in a year. Please don’t make any more than this – I have more than 20 different sewing patterns and it simply wouldn't be fair to buy 15 and make 10 of each, because you would be adopting my entire concept that way. If you intend to make any more than 40 in a year, this would be deemed a big business and would be totally against the rules. Please respect this!
* Write on each swing ticket and in all Etsy/online descriptions the following words: “This bag was made using a Charlie’s Aunt sewing pattern designed by Emma Brennan”. A link to my Etsy shop would also be greatly appreciated. Please don’t put your own designer labels in my designs – that isn’t fair!
* Please have the courtesy to drop me a line to ask if you can make the bags to sell. This way I can keep track of who’s doing what and I can hopefully persuade you to share photos of the bags you make on the Charlie’s Aunt Facebook site.
* All items for sale must be handmade by you. Contracting with others to mass produce Charlie’s Aunt designs is STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
* Distribution of the pattern pieces and corresponding instructions is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Please do not copy my patterns in any way. The words, diagrams and pictures are covered by copyright and I will pursue anyone who infringes this.
* Finally, please be respectful my designs and policies. Being allowed to make a limited number of bags from my patterns to sell is a privilege and not a right.
Please email me at emma@charliesaunt.com if you have any questions
PDF PATTERNS:
The PDF patterns contain instructions, illustrations, photographs and pattern templates for one style of bag, purse or fashion accessory. The templates are full size and can be printed on A4 paper, but some templates need to be joined together with tape because they are too big to fit on one page. All patterns contain detailed instructions on how to cut and join pattern templates.
