- 3 yards or 3 metres of cotton fabric (I used a pale blue cotton fabric) I always buy and recommend more fabric than you may need.
Once you have stitched all the designs out, using your sharp scissors cut as close as you can to the satin stitch borders.
This photo shows you the design cut very close to the satin stitch border
Zigzag stitch the two together.
Joining two of the “Blue Crush_14” together by using a zigzag stitch.
Zigzag stitch all “Blue Crush_14” together as you can see in the photo.
This part is important:
Lay all the above designs onto your background fabric and move the designs around until you are satisfied the designs are positioned correctly.
Take away the outer designs as you have the “Blue Crush_13” correctly positioned.
This is a great hint I picked up from “Pinterest” using “Scotch Blue Painters Tape” to keep each design in place before I lightly hot glued each design onto the background fabric.
Zigzag stitch each of the satin stitch borders to the background fabric.
Once again position the designs as you can see in the photo.
Lightly hot glue each design onto the background fabric.
Zigzag stitch each of the satin stitch borders to the background fabric.

Blue Crush Red Cushion
If you look closely at the above photo taken as a close up of the red cushion you can see that I have used my decorative stitches in the sewing machine, I used a small scallop stitch, this I did after I had zigzagged each design onto the background fabric.
Blue Crush Black Purse
Notions
- 1 metre or 1 yard of black silk fabric
- 1 metre or 1 yard of thin wadding
- 1 metre or 1 yard of washed calico
- Cut Away Stabilizer
Insert into the hoop along with the black silk fabric, thin wadding, washed calico and stabilizer.
Stitch out “Blue Crush_01” this design is the flap for the bag.
Stitch out “Blue Crush_03” this design is under the flap and if you wish to stitch the beads, the information for this portion is in your colour instructions. The design has also taken into consideration those who do not wish to put the beads on the purse.
You can either stitch the beads onto the design by hand or you can glue the beads but remember not to take the design out of the hoop at this stage.
This photo is showing you No. 8 in the colour chart stitching out.
As you can see in the photo you can still see the black organza that the beads are were sewn onto.
To hide the black organza I stitched the round beads onto the organza.
Stitch out “Blue Crush_09” which is the back of the purse.
Stitch the front flap to the back of the purse.
- Stitch the front beaded section to the back of the purse.
- I am sorry I did not take any photos of the construction of the purse as I just plain forgot I got carried away putting the purse together must have been one of those days 🙂
