Clasp Frame Bag ~ 斜挂手提两用口金包

Have been wanting to try making a clasp frame bag but couldn't find the pattern I like. The metal clasp frame that can be found at the local shop here are mainly the sew-in type. During my recent trip to Tokyo, I found the glue-in type metal clasp frame which I think would be easier to work with. 

So here it is, I'm finally making a clasp frame bag using the metal clasp frame and fabric both bought from Nippori fabric town in Tokyo. The glue-in type make a neater finish on the bag. And it's definitely a lot easier and faster than the sew-in type. For glue-in type, you just need to apply glue at the trough of the frame then place the constructed bag and the piece of thread that comes together with the frame.

I quite like the clasp frame bag, it makes a good dinner bag or sling bag. Too bad I only bought one piece from Tokyo. How I wish we have a craft shop just like in Tokyo where they sell all sorts of accessories and material for sewing and craft making. That would be heaven to me. Hahaha.
