Tutorial: Expanding gate-fold purse

October 22, 2015 by Anne Weaver Leave a Comment

This frame purse has the coolest closure! It looks kind of like a bottle top, with a small neck and a flip top cap. But when take off the cap, the opening expands outward to give access to the purse. Deby from So Sew Easy shares a tutorial showing how to make one, including a link for where to purchase the expanding metal frame. You can make one from one fat quarter of fabric.
