I thought I would show you the clutch I made to take to a friends wedding that I went to a couple of weeks ago.
I have wanted to make a purse with a metal frame for years and have never known a) where to buy the frame and b) how I was going to make a pattern and construct one that looked professional.
I found my answers when I across a purse frame kit from
Nicole Mallalieu Design. It came with a frame as well as the pattern and instructions on how make to a beautifully finished purse.
It didn't work out too bad for my first go. I made up a calico toile for practice and then made this one with silk taffeta from
Tessuti. I added a bow to the front for a bit of interest and some red polka dot lining.
Attaching the frame to the purse is the tricky bit. I did manage to get some glue on the taffeta (oops!) and am not sure whether I have crimped the frame enough but I guess that all comes with a bit of practice.
I am currently making another one to take to my brothers wedding on Saturday.
This is the clutch I made to take to brothers Wedding a few weeks ago. You may remember the fabric from Sunday Stash #19. I wanted to put a bow on the front the same as the previous clutch but the fabric was too thick and it didn't really work so I had to go plain.
