The purse frame I mentioned

The purse frame I mentioned worked! I uploaded a photo, so you can see how the curve of it works with the purse opening if you'd like. It makes the coin purse look a little bit different than the one pictured in the magazine, but still works fine.

I just love this sweet little pattern (Thank you, Crochet Today!)!

I think this is a really cute pattern, my question is where do you get the sew on metal purse frame? Thanks!

I have seen a 3.5" purse

I have seen a 3.5" purse frame--although with a more squared-off profile--at (no connection to the store) Jo-Ann stores locally and online. (A different design at each.) They are not cheap, but these are the only two places I have seen them, since I don't shop on etsy. Crochet Today has provided a couple of etsy links . . . maybe on the corrections page for the pattern.

I have since seen the same

I have since seen the same fancy frame Jo-Ann's online has (the brand is Darice) on Amazon. The frame comes in gold or silver. It's the frame I plan to use, so if it doesn't work with the pattern, I'll post an update!
