Making a Clutch Purse out of woven fabric?

I am in an advanced fibers class at my school and have woven a piece of fabric that was intended as a scarf, but due to time constraints I don’t have the time to finish it. its about a foot wide, by 20 inches long. ish. I have decided to make it into a small clutch purse. any suggestions as to how to do this? preferably without having to cut the fabric since its all hand woven.

This is a simple pattern – http://sewing.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=sewing&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.taunton.com%2Fthreads%2Fpages%2Ft00182.asp

You could leave the flap straight if you do not want to cut the fabric for the shape used in the tutorial.

I would interface the fabric to help stabilize it and line the purse.
