Pleated, gathered or plain and simple, this roomy little framed purse can be a clutch, wristlet or small handbag.
This is a perfect place to start making framed purses and the results look truly professional. You’ll also learn how to make flat, corded and structured straps as well as how to make them detachable.
The (optional) draped or pleated overlay is equally effective in cute cotton or in delicate evening fabrics, and the curved frame can be beaded to match the fabric.
This is the perfect purse for weddings, after-5 and everyday small purse occasions.
