Box-Pleat Clutch - Double Clasp

I finished the little red clutch.  Kind of an involved project, as I had not made a purse before with a metal frame.  

I first knit the beaded bag.  Then I sewed the pleated inner silk sections.  Next I sewed the knitted bag and silk sections to one another.  Finally, I used textile glue to attach the bag to the frame.

Box-Pleat Clutch - Double Clasp

Purses are fun! ... and a beaded evening bag is a project I've long thought about.  So, using my box-pleat design, I've fashioned a little clutch.  I really like the look of 1920s and 1930s fashion, and I thought that using a double clasp frame would conjure up the feel of days gone by.  I'm going to use textile glue to attach the frame.  Work in progress.....
