Ribbon embroidery is very calming and inspiring. Every twist of ribbon brings you new ideas and makes you to want to do more and more… to create more beautiful pictures and use them on your usual things like make-up purses, handbags, clutches, glasses-holders, cushions, table mats, etc…

Let’s make a Make-Up Purse. Take an old jeans and cut a pieces of the leg. Denim is quite firm fabric and will hold embroidery well.
I took 22 cm wide and 23 cm high x 2 pieces
2 pieces for the sides 3cm wide at the bottom and 2 cm wide at the top and 17 cm high
and the zipper 29cm long
One piece will be used for embroidery. You can choose any flowers you like. I chosen roses and here we go my embroidered piece is below.
First of all you will need to protect back side of your embroidered piece by covering it with any fabric of your choice
Stitch bottom front and back of the purse together
Attach the sides of the purse
Finish off the seams using the bias ribbon or cut it from the fabric of your choice as i did here
