Thanks everyone! Meganne, I use alot of different things for handles. This one happens to be printed ribbon. I have also used belts, accessory chains, scarves, the same fabric I use for the purse (placemats) and sometimes I buy purse handles.

10164Thanks! The small design (it is sticthed 3 times together) was from embroideryisfree.com or embroiderfriend.com, don't remember for sure. The large rose is from sewforum.com I think.
4828I love the purse you made ! I used to make purses in the past, but have not made one since I got my embroidery machine ! Looks like there's some great possibilities. I love the background fabric and your combination of designs. Perfect ! Ann in KY

Ann, all the purses are really inspiring me. I have never made purses before so you are one up on me, but the possibilities of combining embroidery and purse making are endless. I think you should make them again.

Believe it or not, these are all made from placemats and the handles on this one are printed ribbon! Thanks!
