A new embroidery project

Hello, everyone.  Today's post is to share with y'all a new machine embroidery project: the Quintessential Wallet from Sweet Pea. 

These are the inside of the wallet/purse and the front flap. (Bottom)

The deal with this project is that the various parts are embroidered one by one in the hoop, using the canned programs for each piece. At the end, you move to the sewing machine and assemble the pieces into a whole.

Soooo glad the folks at Sweat Pea have made a pair of YouTube videos showing how to make this. Also very happy that DH was available to help pull the project right side out at almost the end. My hands were not really up to the job.

The plain outside fabric, from stash, is left over from covering barstools for the palapa. The inside, and outside accent panel on the flap, is from  line of Aboriginal Australian prints that are really quite colorful. Though I like better the purple print from that line that was used in the sewing machine dust covers a while back.

The quilting on the outside is part of the computer files.

You need to use a sturdy needle for this stuff, if you use a fainting violet of a tiny one it will break. Just saying.
