"As You Like It" Purses
Ideas and Directions
In Feb. I taught my first "test" class for
my new Pattern "As You Like It" Purse
at Wrightsville Beach in North Carolina.
It was a sewing retreat sponsored by
Bernina is Sew-Much-Fun in
Wilmington, NC. We had lots and lots of
fun and everyone made a beautiful
purse. Below are the students' names
and a brief description of the technique
they used on their flaps.
The six purses shown below all have Digitized Bobbin Embroidery called
DigiBobbE by Bonnie Lyn McCaffery. Decorative thread such as Candlelight
by YLI is used in the bobbin and embroidered upside down in the hoop. Visit

DibiBobbE.
