Embroidered 'Bumpy' Bag- Part 5

Punching small cutouts near the ends of each strap...

...to ease their movement around the felt hanging loops.


                                           Fashioning a leather buttonhole flap.



                                                         A couple of views...



                                                        ...of the bag's texture.



                                  The finished purse with leather strap and closure...



                                     ...and a close-up of its polka dot button.



                 To enliven some of the 'less interesting' areas of the finished bag...



                                           ...I embellish them with French knots... 

                                                      ...and running stitches...

                                                 ...in colorful embroidery thread.
