This was for my daughter’s wedding. I did not follow the pattern completely due to time constraints (wedding in July; started in May).

Instead of cutting the thread after each row, I did a row of SC to return. This used about half the beads and shortened the construction time, and changed the layout of the beads quite a bit. The designer may have a hard time recognizing her purse.

I omitted the bottom fringe as my daughter didn’t want it. She wanted something to symbolize the two of them, so I attached 2 blue hearts onto the handle.

The handkerchief is one pre-owned by the bride’s great aunt.
