Assembly
Fold piece in half, like shown in Figure A, leaving purse flap free. Take 2 stands of yarn and whip stitch sides together as shown in Figure B. Repeat on opposite side.
Make and attach tassel to the tip of flap. Attach strap to both sides. Weave in all ends.
Helpful Tips
Whip Stitch
The key to joining seams successfully is to match up the stitches on each side
of the seam, using straight, and even whip stitches, without pulling too tightly.
Tassel
If you don’t have a tassel maker, you can make one by hand using this Tutorial.
For sizing reference I used a credit card and wrapped T-Shirt yarn 7 times around the widest part of the card.
