When I started this project, it was supposed to be a drawstring purse for my aunt.
When my little niece saw it, she asked, "Are you making this coin bag for me? "
So I made a front flap and my mom attached a macrame handle and it became her coin bag.
The scans are not so good and I can't make fresh scans as I don't have the bag.
Dillmont's Encyclopedia of Needlework is a treasure I inherited from my grandmother in 1989. I never knew that there were so many aspects to needlework. I finally discovered that I was really good at something. This was my introduction into whole new world. Until then reading was my only hobby. Last year, I happened upon Split Ring Tatting. I realised even if I learn about needlework to my dying day, there would still be a lot of things I'd never even heard about.
