I made a purse about a couple months ago. I fabricated it from the leg of a pair of pants I cut off for shorts. Since then, I've been intending to do some embroidery on the corner of the flap. I was going to do something with a leaf pattern, but my sample leaves looked crappy so I went with just swirls. Then I redrew the pattern about 4 times trying to get it just right. Once I had it the way I liked it, I drew it onto the purse with a pen. Yesterday, I finally got around to embroidering it. I'm very pleased with it, especially the way the variegated color thread turned out. I have 3 curls with crystals, 3 loops, and 3 little curls. The number 3 makes a nice asymmetrical pattern. The embroidery was fun, so I kind of want to do the pattern on something else now, but I don't know what.Bonus kitty paw:
