Construct a purse in the usual way using pat­
tern instruction, making sure top edge of purse
is finished.
1. Use hand basting or tailor’s chalk to mark
the stitching line approximately 2.6 to 5 cm
(1 to 2 inches) in from top edge of fabric.
2. Stitch along marked line using the ric-rac
stitch, placing fabric so that edge to be
finished is turned to the right.
3. Thread needle with a fine cord or ribbon or
several strands of sewing thread. Leaving a
6 to 7.6 cm tail (2 to 3 inches) of thread,
guide the needle between the ric-rac
stitching and the fabric until you have gone
completely around the top edge of the
purse.
9 Cut cord or ribbon leaving desired amount
needed to create a drawstring effect.
