BO
Take a length of white yarn and a yarn needle. Fold the knitted rectangle in half width ways and knit around the edges, leaving the top edge open.
Take some white fabric and draw around the outline of the knitted purse so that it's twice the height but slightly shorter in width.
Fold the fabric in half, so that it's half the height and sew a zip in along the top.

(I used black thread because I was too lazy to rethread my machine, but you should probably use white).
Sew down both open sides of the fabric to make a pouch.
Place the pouch inside the knitted purse and stitch it in place by sewing along the top edge with the white yarn.
Cut off any lose yarn and you're ready to go!
