DIY wedding clutch handbag: part 4 - handbag body alteration

the finished body of the clutch handbag was good but to angular... also the hard edge 90 degree corners would clash with the handles (the handles will run under them instead of just over them)...

i need to cut away! make it around... softer, rounder, more feminine...

so i cut out a piece of plastic as a "rounded corner template"...
lots of mucking about and sewing (by hand!) here and there later.... a rounded look... much better!

now i have to think about the handles and the "closure mechanism"...

the back would be quite plain... i like it too!

Day 3 of clutch handbag will begin early tomorrow morning!
