To line
the purse, I used a piece of this kimono sleeve.
I am thoroughly pleased with my new little hand bag.

Finishing the Sampler Bag
I have
loved working on this project! It only
took about a week and a half start to finish, but I have to say some of those
days I worked on it all day long and into the evening.
I used
a thin layer of batting between the lining and the stitched fabric.
I put
the layers together, then added a beaded edge.
I made a piece of twisted cord with DMC perle #5 in color 518 for the
inside edge. I put two snaps to keep the bag closed.
I am thoroughly pleased with my new little hand bag.

Beautiful stitching!
A beautiful bag with gorgeous lining. Well done!
The idea of putting sample stitches on ticking and then turning it into this stylish bag - with a lovely lining, is great. How did you add the beaded trim?
A wonderful sampler bag.
