FABRIC PREPARATION AND SET UP

Cut three 2 ½" wide strips, 20" long, of the off white organza
for the rosettes.

Rosettes

Thread: Wooly nylon in loopers

See manual pages 17,18,21,37 & 55 for threading & instructions.

Sew the rolled hem on one edge of the organza strips, serging fishing line inside the rolled hem. Make three organza rosettes by wrapping organza around your finger and securing base of rosettes with a few hand stitches.

Thread: Needle - Overlock thread
Upper Looper - 6 weight decorative rayon thread
Lower Looper - Overlock thread

See manual pages 17, 18, 23, & 43 for threading instructions.

Make two buttonholes one inch apart approximately 3" inside edge of circle of lace fabric. The buttonholes should be 5/8" in length. Cut open. Put the satin circle and the lace circle wrong sides together. Sew around the circle- lace side up with the three thread overedge stitch. Decorative thread will appear on lace side.

Stitch a casing inside the circle using the chainstitch, placing the buttonholes in the center of the casing stitches.

See manual pages 20, 23, 39 & 40 for threading instructions.

One stitching line should run 2 ½" from edge and the other at 3 ¼" from edge to form casing. Run cording through casing entering and exiting at buttonholes. Draw the cord to close bag. Knot the two ends together. Form a bow with the organza ribbon & attach it and the rosettes to upper section of bag near the casing.
