It looks like a purse/satchel opening. A slender piece of textile (often fabric) would cover the opening (sewn, buttoned, velcroed), and then a pouch would hangbelow. Handles (often chain) could be attached/sewn onto the textile. This one being tortoise shell (imitation?) I would think of something more casual like a fabric pouch (rather than crocheted, lace, beaded, etc.) There could be other uses, but these kinds of things are (or used to be) sold along with purse frames, which take a bit more technique to hold your needleworked goods, but often have clasps and other sophistications. Lacis does have a selection. Best,Susan Reishus To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat y...@address.here.
