Funky Flower Patch Purse
Regular Price per Set: US $15.00

Unleash the fabric artist in you with our Funky Flower Patch Purse!

This is a layered appliqué project – first make your own unique background by appliquéing different strips of fabric to create a wavy pattern. The fabric joins are decorated with satin and decorative stitches. Then embroider the flowers and leaves to complete the design. 

Once the purse front panels are made, add beads, buttons and decorations to further embellish your embroidery. The result is an eye-popping display of color, texture and trimmings. 

There are two designs in this set, which make up the purse front. 

Appliqué information and full photo instructions for making the purse are provided in PDF format.

Shown left is a close-up of the new 
8x12 Funky Flower Patch Purse.

My color scheme was black and gray/silver and within this 
limited palette I concentrated on texture and fabric type. 
The background panels are fake suede and satin. The flowers
 and leaves were made with gray and silver velvet, felt, 
printed poly-cotton and leather.

Once embroidered I added hot fix crystals to some of the
flower centers for sparkle. The small 3D butterfly was 
purchased at a local haberdashery shop. It has organza 
wings, wire antennae and a beaded body.

Shown above left
– Three coordinating African Shwe Shwe cotton fabrics used for the background with flowers and leaves done in a mix of blues and orange

Shown above right – A variety of pink quilting and poly cottons for the background with flowers done in pinks and brown. Green felt was used for the leaves.  The purse fabric is a pair of recycled denim jeans, finished off with a shocking pink feathery trim and pink sparkly flower beads.




Shown above left
– Three shades of jacquard sateen brocade was used for the background (I wouldn't recommend using such a thick fabric for layered appliqués but as an experiment it turned out quite nicely!). The flowers are a combination of felt, quilting cottons, faux suede and upholstery scraps. Brown felt was used for the leaves. Additional embellishments include crocheted and beaded flowers as well as shisha mirrors.

Shown above right – A riot of color with blues and greens as the background theme. Flowers were made with pink and orange felt and fabric. Green felt was used for the leaves. Multi-colored seed beads were used to accent two of the flowers. Colorful flower shaped sequins were also attached to the bag front.
