Here is the whole thing in it's last few stages. The Design is Ann Beck embroidery's. I fell in love with that little bird and cribbed it from her web page and boy what a page! Go look! I used a sticky side embroidery transfer page for the design I don't know if I recommend them or not The pro's are; You can trace the design easy-peasy peel and stick, and re-stick a couple of times. if you screw it up the first time, even then it hangs on well to the fabric. The cons are; it also stickies up your needle as it goes through the fabric, making it a bit of a challenge if that fabric is a all slubby or thick like this one is. I used this stuff on silk and velvet with cotton floss and didn't have as much of an issue with it as I did here, using all silks both fabric and thread, so keep that in mind. SO! All the embroidery is done, I loosely back stitched all around the final shape I wan't it to have all it needs now is the lining and a bit of machine work I sewed the lining and main fabric all around the top, since it has a specific shape to fit the purse frame
Which has to be sewn into it by hand before, very awkwardly, sewing the right sides together at the bottom, leaving a space for turning then sewing it closed by hand < As you see here, I took care to knot each hole So that if one frays the whole thing doesn't fall off the frame, how embarrassing!
And here she is all together!
