Tutorial: Hexi Clutch frame purse

Caila from Caila Made shares a tutorial over at Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky! showing how to make her Hexi Clutch, a lovely little frame purse accented with a trio of hexi appliques. You can use any frame to make the purse; she links to a tutorial on her blog to show how to make the pattern and construct the clutch. At Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky! she shows how to make the hexi appliques. Each one takes just a small square of fabric, so this is a good project to use up some treasured itty scraps. Go to Hideous! Dreadful! Stinky! to see how to make them.
