I received this gorgeous postcard from Annette at In Stitches and Seams

Isn't it super? It makes a nice decoration for this time of year. Thank you to Annette for the postcard and to Sheila for organizing the exchange.
I have been working on this little purse this morning.
Beverly of Flamingo Toes posted this tutorial and when I saw it I wanted to try making one.
http://www.flamingotoes.com/2013/09/teeny-tiny-embroidered-key-chain-coin-purses/ I purchased my frames from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Frames-Clasp-Pattern-Silver/dp/B00CCF6ZA0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381588177&sr=8-1&keywords=purse+frames and I think they are a bit bigger than Bev's but otherwise it's the same. I quilted my case instead of embroidering.
What that did was take in the fabric a bit so I was a bit short on the top.
So my next try I'll enlarge the pattern. I didn't use any glue, just thick embroidering floss to sew the case to the frame.
Once I perfect my technique I think these would make cute small gifts.
The postcard from Annette is just lovely , she does such great work . Love your little coin purse too , haven't tackled one of those yet but they are tempting . Enjoy your weekend .
ReplyDeleteSuch nice work and so much fun!
ReplyDeleteVery sweet postcard! I struggle making bags, so I would let someone else make the coin purse - then buy it. Tee Hee
