I had to create my little purse at the last minute due to my purse handle frame getting lost in the mail. I wanted to make one a little larger so it could be carried as a small hand bag. My coin purse frame is 4 1/2 inches. I created a purse handle using clear tubing I took off a toy and pulled out the center and ran black yarn through and pinched it together using metal cylinders I found in the jewelry section. I chose pink fabrics I had on hand. I really liked the black with pink roses and thought a pink lining would be perfect. I'm going to give this to my grandma as a Christmas gift!! I know she will love it especially since she loves pink!!

Love it! Did you enlarge the UR priceless pattern; and, if so, how much. Or, did you draft your own?

So clever to make your own handle, and it looks great!I am also dealing with "lost in the mail" at the moment, and know how frustrating it is!
