Recently, I've been in a need for a last minute DIY gift idea. I was looking for chic looking, inventive and interesting handmade purses. I must admit my sewing skills are at intermediate level so I needed to go for something essential and straightforward.

I was inspired by a fashion lover - Katie from See Kate Sew. She sewed a completely unexpected craft DIY Zipper Book Clutch. The project immediately caught my eye as it requires only a few basic products and it's easy to recreate. You can use vintage or modern book covers to make a perfect gift. I know some bookworms may not be entirely delighted about the idea of destroying a book so they can always choose Tiny Coin Purse

Anyway, we're waiting for your versions of book clutches. Let us know about them on our fan page.
