Bag of the Week 16
Thursday, April 22, 2010 at 6:00AM Floral Evening Bag
Here is another bag I created several years ago and donated to a silent auction. The pattern is Vogue 7221, View B (this pattern is out of print but readily available on Ebay). The fabric is black silk dupioni and the embroidery design is from Pfaff’s online store.
The finished size of the bag is 8” wide by 7” high. The design is clever as it includes a drawstring pouch sewn into the top of the bag to contain the purse contents. ½”-wide belting is used to interface the strap giving it a nice shape. The bag is lined. I added piping in the seam between the upper and lower portions of the bag (because I think piping makes everything better!)
This bag is a very cute little evening bag and one that you can embroider or embellish in many ways. Give it a try.

This bag is beautiful. I really love the embroidery design. I scrolled down through previous posts and you've been busy. Great projects! Glad the blogging has come together so well for you.
Enjoy your Sunday.
