Inspired by the artistry of traditional quilting, Theda Mönch’s Bronzeville Quilted Patchwork Clutch Purse blends classic and contemporary elements. It features the timeless Drunkard’s Path quilt block—a distinctive curved pattern commonly found in heritage quilts—paired with leather and modern hardware, including a twist lock fastener on the front flap and a stylish chain link crossbody strap. The purse’s side gussets are cinched with riveted leather straps. Snap buttons connect these straps to the front panel, accentuating the clutch’s sleek silhouette and allowing easy access to the spacious fully lined main compartment.
The clear, easy-to-follow written and photographic instructions, along with included templates in the comprehensive sewing pattern, guide makers through each step of construction. This ensures professional results, inviting creators to craft a distinguished purse that not only celebrates quilting tradition but also serves as a functional and fashionable piece.
This pattern is designed for intermediate sewers, but beginners can follow along thanks to the detailed instructions and clear photographic illustrations provided for every step. This design stands out by incorporating a distinctive Drunkard’s Path quilt block along with expert finishing methods, resulting in a polished, customized appearance.

Pattern sheets offer full-size templates for all key components—including the Drunkard’s Path quilt block, front and back panels, gussets, purse bottom, and D-ring tabs—so each piece can be cut and assembled with accuracy and confidence. There are multiple opportunities for sewers to personalize their purse, as the design allows you to select your own combination of fabrics, colors, and hardware.
