This little jewel of a purse replaces our original Dragonfly Scissor Purse. It would be a stunning addition to any stitcher's collection. Beads, pearls and Swarovski crystals embellish the design, along with the beautifully embossed dragonfly. Nan has created a 3-dimensional pink rose for the back. Her instructions make it a joy to recreate using overdyed wool and silk braid. The purse and fob are stitched entirely in Au Ver A Soie silk (no conversions). The feature thread is Gilt Sylke Twist, a gorgeous thread made by wrapping the thinnest of gold wires around a silk base. No stitcher has had such a silk in her hands since the time of Elizabeth I. You will love the subtle shimmer it adds to the design. The silk kit, which includes the gold twisted cord, will be available to shops from Access Commodities. Fabric for both purse and fob is 28 CT Zweigart Flax Cashel Linen. The finished purse measures 4 ½" by 2 ½", and the fob is 1 ½" square. The Just Nan kit will include: leaflet, embellishments, overdyed wool, silk braid, snap, interfacing and complete finishing instructions from Pamela's Final Touch. Stitchers must furnish their own lining material. There are1000 kits available, beginning at the end of June. Click on the button for a shop list.
