I was a bit secretive about this fabric pull when I added it to my FAL Quarter 1 list last month because I had plans to transform them into birthday pressies for someone with a huge heart.
There was a third fabric tucked behind the others in the top pic and I used the patterns from Judith's frame purse workshop (that I had so much fun at) and used the Dear Stella spot to stitch up a purse lining.
The beautiful yellow geometric flowers became the frame purse outer. Along with the Oval Elements in gold I used the flowers to stitch a wee neck scarf or bag tie (all neatly folded in the pic above).
I popped some notecards and a wee crocheted rose brooch inside too as a wee surprise.
Making pretties for friends is the best kind of sewing, don't you think?
That is the neatest frame purse I have ever seen!!
