I finally finished my little evening purse and used it tonight! Here are both sides of it (the back is the small photo at the top) : it fastens with a flap (also embroidered) over the top half of the front, with a press-stud underneath. I was going to use it as a clutch purse but then I decided to add a shoulder strap. It came in very handy, it's just the right size for my phone and keys.
Love

Love the shape & embroidery & a good idea to add the strap much less likely to leave behind.

It looks so good, and pretty, it might encourage some of us, who have always wanted to make it, to give it a try. *4U

Beautiful purse. I love the strap. I am never quite sure how long a strap should be. Thanks for showing.

Thank you all for your compliments. The back and front are the same and the flap which fastens it was stitched separately and has the two big flowers at the top plus leaves and a few small flowers, plus the circle with my initial on it; I lined it and edged it all with satin stitch in black before I cut it out. The heart borders to the main pieces I stitched with my machine's built-in patterns after drawing a guide line with tailor's chalk using the inside of my embroidery hoop as a template, then I stitched all the pieces together, added the strap (1 metre of black piping cord) and lined the whole bag in plain black before sewing on a press-stud. There are 41,662 stitches in the floral embroidery, not counting the borders and satin stitch edgings.

beautiful and all that work turned out great. Where did you get the pattern to do It?

No pattern - I designed and digitised the embroidery myself and made the bag up as I went along! I'll have a go at writing out instructions and drawing a pattern and put them and the embroidery files on my website - http://DiannesCraftBox.bravehost.com - when I get round to it (which won't be today!) Love

You did a gorgeous job ! This must have taken a great deal of time, but now you have a purse which is unique. "A few" heads have certainly turned when you used this purse. *4U
