My Waterlily Handbag ....Part four

My Waterlily Handbag is nearly finished!

I have attached the leaves and stitched in the veins

Next stage.... working out how to attach the flower and make the centre...I decided to use gold coloured satin cord and yellow glass beads.

Sewing the lining and making pockets for phone, purse and notebook..... masses of room left !

The flower is now completed

Lining finished...the outside has now to be padded and interlined.

My Latest Handbag Idea...Waterlilies

Waterlily Handbag

Waterlilies in Spain

My source material, not sure yet whether I will make a pink or white flower, or use matt or shiny fabrics. I want the leaves to overlap the bag shape and the flower 3D  if I can find a satisfactory way to make it!

Rough sketch for applique on bag

So now to find some material and make the pattern for the bag shape, then draw out the shapes for the applique.
