SECRETS OF EMBROIDERY LACE BAGS - these are FSL and lots of stitches around 30,000 plus and take about 100 minutes to sew out!!!!! I am making 8 of them. These are the first two - and I'll just make 2 of each design. I have put in a powder compact to show you what they could be used for. It will be up to each lady what they want to use it for. Maybe even a lovely lacy handkerchief. Love and blessings Chris

Chris, this is absolutely beautiful! Who is the digitizer at Secrets? Love, Lidia
by pennifold 17 Oct 2011
Hi Lidia, it doesn't say who the digitiser is. Here is the link to the page. Love Chris

Lovely work Chris!
These could be from Stitch Delight on Secrets.
I think I have this set too.

I don't know where it says who the digitiser is on the page. I just typed in Lace Purse in the top right hand side and up pops a page with them on. Love Chris

Yes you could, I did that last year and used Rose Pot Pourri in their John Deer Lace sachets. This year I did a bit different. Love Chris

Very nice, another suggestion would be to make up colored
organza pouches and fill them with lavender (or other nice smelly stuff) and place them inside, adds color and
smells so nice.
Great job.
Hugs

I do hope so Yvonne, they love most things I make and are in awe of the sewing machine. Love Chris

Chris, these are adorable and I am sure the ladies will really have fun deciding what to use these for. I like your compact idea, too.
