An expensive evening bag! I inadvertently used 30 weight embroidery not 40 so the project used 3 reels! Also lots of the expensive plastic type stabalizer. I had great difficultly working out the right way to do the flap and even with help still struggled but got it in the end. The cheapest part was the chain handle. Anyway after all my struggles am now pleased with the result.

How precious, Gil! And what a lot of work but as everybody says, it really is worth all the trouble and time spent. Where will you carry the bag first time? Probably going to theater or to a wonderful High Tea event? Wonderful and thanks for sharing - Maria

Nice job!!! I tried to thread some 30 wt thread through the needle and had trouble so I used 40 wt instead. What needle did you use with the 30 wt? Kay
