Thank you very much!

Thank you Penny. The time consuming part for me is trying to fit the finished embroidery onto the purse pattern. I had to tweak the embroidery by adding 1 extra piece down the side seams. The actual sew out for the embroidery was fairly easy, just a little time to make sure all the pieces lined up right.

Thanks!

Thank you! That took some planning..

Thanks Chris!

its not the design that Toni posted on the Kiwi site, I just posted the correct one. The front of the bag that you see of mine above is a whole panel. The back of the bag is another whole panel. Each panel has 3 hooping's. If you look close to the right side that has "Santa's Shopper" on the top, you will see a lime green piece of fabric (with candy canes). That was the only addition I had to make on my own to get it to fit the Simplicity pattern. That piece extended the whole front side out about an extra 1 1/2" or so. I could have just taken up an inch of the pattern piece vertically down the middle, and at this point I wish I had, would have been a lot easier than adding that side piece to it. But the panel is quite large. I used my 8x12 hoops for each single panel. You sew the 1st sections in the hoop and unhoop it. Then in another hooping you sew the 2nd section. As you finish the 2nd section, you attach the 1st section to it. Then unhoop and sew the 3rd section. As you finish the 3rd section, you attach the 1st and 2nd section to it, thus making it as big as it is. The actual completed panel as sewn as its supposed to be, before making a purse out of it, is 15" wide and 9 1/2" high. Its pretty big.

thank you!

Thank you and Your welcome, but I did make a mistake in the description. The pattern number is 1519 NOT 1619.
