Winter Blossoms Frame Purse

Hope everyone is enjoying preparations for Christmas.  
Most of my shopping is done and I am finishing up a few hand made gifts.
I'm planning a walk to my local shopping district today to purchase those last few items : )

I was fortunate to be included in Stitch Gifts 2014.  
Last week I shared my "vintage bow clutch" which is a perfect last minute gift to make.


Today I am sharing the Winter Blossoms Frame Purse.  This is a fun easy project, but a project that takes a wee bit more time.  The flowers are by the yard trim that is cut apart and applied by hand with embroidery floss.  A perfect project for a cold winter night!

I used a readily available flower trim, wool melton (coating weight) and a purse frame you can find on the Sew Daily Website.  A wool felt can be substituted for the wool melton if not readily available. I found my flower trim at Joann fabrics but you can also find it here.
You can find Stitch Gifts here.  

Wishing you a lovely day.

Christmas Sewing ~ Bow Clutch ~ Stitch Gifts 2014



The latest issue of Stitch magazine ~ Stitch Gifts 2014 ~ has been on the news stands for a few weeks.  It is a great issue with some wonderful projects for gift making.
I am excited to have two different projects in the issue!  


My vintage bow clutch is a perfect easy gift to make for a friend or family member.  Inspired by the glamorous 1950’s, this stylish clutch has a self fabric bow. 




The clutch measures 7” tall x 11” wide.
The zipper pull is made from 3/8” ribbon adorned with embroidered flower trim.

                                   I made this one with a favorite japanese fabric print.

                            I've listed the samples in my Etsy shop!  Perfect for gift giving!

I use my proto type sample to hold my mini I-pad.  So....you can also use it as an i-pad holder as well as a stylish clutch!
