A small clutch that needs lining and hardware still. Seed stitch edges with a slight cable. 2/24: The knitted fabric blocked wonderfully straight. Leslie provided some slightly modern fabric with the same green in it. May need a black cord for the top where the fabric meets the hardware. Finished lining and stitching up, July…
