The embroidery is worked in cotton threads, using simple stitches. The body of the purse is a beige, flocked (mock suede) fabric. The purse is hand-stitched using blanket stitch and the paler orange thread. The purse closes with a stitched loop over a vintage button. The 'neck' of the purse is part way up the flap and, since it is folded over when the purse is closed, this helps to stop coins escaping. The purse could be used for coins, or other small items. It would make a travelling jewellery pouch as shown or could be used for hair accessories. Dimensions: Width (at widest point) - 12.5 cm approx Height (when closed) - 10cm approx LynwoodCrafts Thu, 01 Sep 2011 08:30:58 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2227565 http://folksy.com/items/2227565 Embroidered Purse - Autumn Flowers Beautiful daisies, in pastel shades of lilac, blue and peach, are embroidered onto this lovely brooch.
