I was lucky enough to witness two beautiful weddings for two lovely brides this summer. One was my niece and the other a very special friends daughter. A bridal purse seemed like the right thing to make for each of these wonderful young women.
I took inspiration from some ready-made purses, Amy Butler (the queen of bags) and, of course, the two brides. Satin and silk are nice choices for fabric. Both brides wore very feminine dresses and their purses had to reflect that romantic look.
I added tulle for a frilly touch to Nicoles bag, cinched with a wedding band. The bride and grooms names with their wedding date were embroidered on some extra fabric and appliqud inside the flap.
Maggies bag had some tulle with glitter to reflect her dress fabric. An antique brooch dressed up the purse and added some sparkle.
If you have a brooch from someone special, it would add great meaningfor the bride. If not, thrift stores are another good option for costume jewelry such as the one on this silk clutch. Patterns are adapted from the book, Amy Butlers Style Stitches.
Specialty feet used: Edgestitch Foot 10 andStraight Stitch Foot 13, plus Embroidery Foot 26 for the machine embroidery.
