This is the first purse, I made from the swatches. Without sewing the swatches together, this type of purses needs only 3 seams, lining included. If need be, I can show, how to do this.

The 3. picture shows inside out.
The purse has no embroidery, but for the next purses I will do this.

This is lovely, and it does sound quite easy to do. I like how all the edges are finished off, even on the inside. Makes it look very professional. Well done!!

If you have a LARGE hoop you can make them in the hoop and then you only do two seams by machine (the side seams). I did several that way. Here is one. http://youembroidery.com/23602_ith-little-purse-been-playing.html

My way, you can make any sice you want, small purses, marketbags....

These fabrics are strong for making purses. Are you having to use a heavier sewing machine needle?

by elemausi 06 Feb 2014
I used the same needle as allways, the fabric is a chenille.
May be, there is a problem if the fabrics are stronger, then I will use a jeansneedle, but then it will be a bigger problem to sew trough 8 pieces fabric in the part with the foldet bottom.
