How to attach in internal flex frame to pleated clutch purse

    How to attach in internal flex frame to pleated clutch purse
    on: March 01, 2011, 01:18:35 PM
    Hi everyone,

    I am trying to make a pleated clutch purse but do now want to use a magnetic snap closure. I would like to use a 19" internal flex frame instead. I have searched the internet for tutorials on how to attach that type of frame but have been unsuccessful. I would like to attach it so that it is not visible. The tutorials I have seen are for coin purses and allow it to be visible. If anyone can help....please let me know. Thanks in advance.

      I have done it by making a casing that is a little taller and longer than the frame. Leave the side seams of the bag open. Take the pins out of the frame pieces and stick them into the casings. Put the pins back in. Hand stitch the little openings in the side seams closed. I have done this with an upholstery weight fabric and the bag still opens and closes fine.
