I bought this lovely Ink & Spindle fabric to re-cover my lampshade and had plenty to spare! I thought it would work perfectly for this sweet little clip purse. I might give it to my mum for Mother’s day.

The pattern is from Australian fabric retailer SPOTLIGHT (see link below.)

    Very cute – love the fabric! Was it difficult to affix the purse frame to the fabric? I’ve never made a purse using this kind of purse frame before and often wondered how one would put it onto the fabric.

      Hi there,
      I followed the instructions “…. Apply glue to the channel on one side of the frame, the starting at the sides insert purse into frame then insert top edge, checking that lining is also inserted evenly.
      Use small screwdriver to help push fabric into frame. Let glue set before inserting the other side….”
      It was tricky but got there in the end. It’s also easier if the fabric/lining edge is exactly the same shape/size as the purse frame.
      Good luck!
