With Easter just around the corner...


... and my Easter project Penelope-style (crochet, unravel, crochet, unravel, crochet, unravel...) still far from completion (that’s a euphemism),


... and my other secret project (so secret it cannot be mentioned), which I haven’t even started on yet,

I decided to try out some of the cute purse frames that I’d ordered at Tall Poppy Craft and which arrived in the mail a couple of days ago. The result is my loveliest failure to date.



It would be absolutely perfect (I am quite proud of the wee bird) were it not for the fact that I gambled wrong on the ‘does this pattern include seam allowances?’ question, and the luverly purse does not fit the luverly frame. In fact, despite my attempts to stretch the fabric, bend the frame, etc., it keeps coming loose somewhere. I've given up on it. What is one to do with a frameless purse?Crafting_
