Organic cotton crocheted kisslock coin purse

Post: # 192533Post damekiri »

I have been knitting a larger one for what feels like weeks (I am an incredibly slow knitter), so I thought I would get out the cotton I bought when I was in Canada and made a nice quick plain unfussy purse. Then I thought it was too unfussy and needed a flower, so whacked one on hehe!
picture here!
I think for a "make it up as you go along" thing it is pretty good! I am certainly pleased with it! Excuse the crappiness of the photo quality, it's a phone camera picture and it's late and therefore dark...

Thanks for the lovely comments! I am really pleased with it!
Snapdragon, there are different kinds of frame, one kind is like this and you glue the edge of the piece and push it in, or the kind I used has a metal bit with holes on all around and you sew the piece in, REALLY EASY! :D

I think that is really lovely, but can I just ask you if you can buy the clasps other than on the internet? I can't be trusted with a credit card!! pbf.

Very nice, I love the colour of the main body of the purse, is it like an aquaish blue? It's lovely.
