If you are wondering why it is called the 'The Palmie", it's not because I happen to live near Palm Beach, but because this delightful little purse fits nicely into my hand…
Okay you caught me…
If I had made this purse correctly, it would have had the proper name of…Fortune Cookie Clutch (U-Handbag) but…
Lady Luck wasn't having any of it!
Why I don't know, as it all started off so well.
I mean, the inner lining came out perfectly, I correctly fused the wadding onto the outer lining as per the instructions, even the sewing of the outer lining went well…
BUT
For the life of me, I could not get the beautiful purse frame to fit!!!!
After a short break away from the frame & Gutermann glue fiasco..I decided to give up.
On the frame at least …there is no way I am wasting a perfectly good little shell of a purse just because I can't get the frame to fit…(I think maybe my 4mm seam allowance is a little larger than the one suggested)
So I decided to make up a closing using my newly purchased 14mm magnetic snaps.
They are surprisingly easy to use!
I am so glad I didn't give up on this purse…
adding an extra border of fabric to create a new closing was really easy and it took no time at all.
I love my my little hybrid purse..so here it is
