Purse Frame<\/h2>\n<p>My finished purse will measure 7&#8243; in width, 6&#8243; height and 3&#8243; in breadth across the bottom. \u00a0I have added D-rings to be able to wear as a crossbody bag. \u00a0This is optional, and there are some frames that already come with this option.<\/p>\n<p>Make a 15&#8243; X 8 3\/4&#8243; (38 cm X 22 cm) rectangle of lining fabric and apply <a href=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/l\/fusible_interfacing\" title=\"Fusible Interfacing\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\">fusible interfacing<\/a> on the wrong side according to the thickness of your fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Fold the rectangle right sides together and sew the sides at 3\/8&#8243; (1 cm) leaving a gap of 2.5&#8243; to turn the rectangle inside out.<\/p>\n<p>Turn the rectangle inside out, iron, and sew the gap by stitching all around the edge.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-35167 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Untitled-design-3-500x375.png\" alt=\"square metal purse frame pattern\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Untitled-design-3-500x375.png 500w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Untitled-design-3-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Untitled-design-3-150x113.png 150w, https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Untitled-design-3.png 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 500px;
