6-8-10 Bag Pattern

(156)
Difficulty: Easy

6 - 8 - 10 is a sleek, slim handbag perfect for the woman who travels light. This bag is elegant, understated, and stands on her own or is beautiful embellished with a cluster of small flowers or with one large life-like Hibiscus.

In other words, this bag is the perfect special occasion bag: make a 6 for the bride and 8s for each of her attendants. Take a 10 to the wedding you are going to later this year. Make an 8 for your Mother-in-Law's birthday, and another for yourself for the birthday party in her honor. Bead a little red 6 with a grid of black beads for your Valentine's Day date. Make an 8 dazzling with Sparkle Rivets. Make a very interesting statement with a row of small Alien Skull Ornaments across the top, just under the line of sparkly beads that hold the frame in place . . .  

These slender purses are the blank canvas for your creative musings. We can't wait to see what you will do.

  • Simple Elegance Frame in Three Finishes

    Elegant Snap Frame

    (FE-)

    Metal Finishes:

    The elegant frame is attractive, practical, and versatile with a distinctly vintage appeal. It is an ideal frame for felted, fabric, and leather bags, because it is a sew-in frame with sew holes that are invisible on the outside when the bag is finished.

    Used in many Noni designs, including Amazing Grace, Three Nights in a Row, Petit Four, Fancy Party, and others, the frame converts from a handbag to a clutch when you squeeze the bottom of the little handle. The handle comes easily out of its attractive housing, making it clutch.

  • Empire Frame with Chain

    Empire Frame and Chain

    (FEMCH-Antique Silver)

    Sold Out

    The Empire Frame in antique silver with its heavy matching chain and rhinestone studded closure is beautifully classic, elegant. Like the Empire style furniture for which it is named, the Empire purse frame has carved, curving lines and a solidity of form and construction that make it the perfect choice for both delicate evening bags and larger bags with vintage styling.

    Carry the bag as a handbag with the chain closed inside, or wear it as a shoulder bag: either way, the Empire Frame elevates any bag - felted knitted fabric, woven fabric, or otherwise - to a level of refined sophistication.
