Spiff up a purchased handbag

Zeshuregi of Creative Mind blog shows us how she transformed a plain woven handbag into a work of art with the addition of silk ribbon and a few stitchy techniques. See her post.

Looking for a supplier of Silk Ribbon? We love Etsy for finding hand dyed ribbons as well as imported European silk Embroidery Ribbons. You can see the listings here on Etsy.  Why use silk ribbons? While you can use other kinds of ribbon, it’s best to work with silk because It’s lightweight and very fluid and can easily be manipulated into stitches.
