Kisslock Purses
Suffice to say that my curiosity and interest were tickled when I found out that there was a workshop for these kisslock purses. They look rather simple but, believe me, I struggled to put them together. I think my lack of machine-sewing skill for one is to be blamed. Nevertheless, I completed two of these purses, and I'm rather pleased.

They're great! I love the silk one!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought they looked hard to make, Val. Well done - another skill you've mastered.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOH! These are fabulous and look beautifully made! I don't think there's anything you can't do. Seriously! :D
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is also the silk one. I couldn't even begin to think how you make them, so clever, well done.
ReplyDeleteAre you going to make more? They are very useful for storing tatting!
Those are adorable! I especially like the silk one. I've never heard them called kiss lock purses before... love it!
ReplyDeleteWell done! I would never have guessed one could 'make' these! And 'kisslock' ia new term to me, as well! I can think of a lot of uses for these - both the elegant silk one and and clever 'cars'!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy!
DeleteHaha, the term is new to me too. ;) I just took it from the organiser of the workshop.
Nice work - I've wondered how difficult it is to get those frames on nicely, but yours look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. As the cloth is soft, it's rather fiddly and requires some skills to slot the sewn edges into the frame, which is lined with glue. Before the glue sets, the bag got to be held in the position so that it doesn't slip out again. The glue, if insufficient, will not hold the edges well; if too much, it oozes out and sticks to the cloth. So... tricky don't you think?
