  • If the design won’t be reduced
    on the machine, reposition the
    grommet placement marking ¼ "
    to the left to prevent the flap from
    covering the grommets (C).


CUT



  • Cut out the pattern pieces from
    the corresponding fabric and
    interfacing according to the pattern
    instructions, except the purse flaps.

  • From the exterior solid-cotton
    fabric, cut one purse flap 5" beyond
    the entire flap perimeter using the
    new pattern piece. Designate as the
    upper flap.

  • From the remaining print-cotton
    fabric, woven interfacing and foam
    interfacing, cut one flap each using
    the new pattern piece.

  • Adhere the interfacing to the
    corresponding pieces following the
    pattern instructions.


EMBROIDER



  • Hoop the upper flap with a piece
    of cut-away stabilizer, centering the
    fabric within the hoop.

  • Place the hoop onto the machine.
    Embroider the design, changing
    thread colors as needed.

  • Remove the hoop from the
    machine and the fabric from the


C ¼"


hoop. Cut away the excess stabilizer
from the design perimeter.


  • Position the flap right side up on a
    flat work surface. Position the new
    flap pattern over the fabric, center-
    ing the design within the pattern
    and making sure it doesn’t extend
    into the seam allowances; cut out.


CONSTRUCT



  • Construct the purse following the
    pattern instructions, installing the
    grommets according to the instruc-
    tions on page 43.
