Tutorial: Make a pattern for a metal purse frame

Metal frame purses are so cute, but it can be hard to find patterns to fit the frame you have. That’s because there’s such a wide variety of sizes and shapes of purse frames out there. I don’t think the variety is a bad thing at all – it just means that you may need to draft your own patterns to fit the frames you purchase. Mayra from So Sew Easy has a tutorial showing how to do just that. Think of all the fun little frame purses you can make!
