Sorry I wasn’t able to document each and every step since I wasn’t so sure if it will come out good. I cut the felt in 2 equal rectangles and trimmed lower side to give the corset emphasis. Stitched both pieces together (sewn part inside) to form the purse. After having the body done i decorated the “face” with running stitch using darker shade thread. To achieve a roundish bust form,pull the stitches a bit tighter. Work on the handle with the leftover strip and attach to the purse. Voila, a simple corset purse!

Ayie, as I’ve told you, my heart skipped a beat when I got this. I love it so much. Thanx for all your effort and this is really something. It will go well come Chinese New Year and that is only a couple of months away.

I’m so pleased with your appreciation, thank you so much merryn! It didn’t take me long time doing that craft project considering it’s all hand stitched. i also agree this will be great replacement for the traditional ang pow envelopes =)

Ayie,
I can imagine myself sitting in one corner sewing hundreds of this for CNY.. at least then, my angpow can be special

agree with merryn, you can style it as you like. velcro is ok to have it fully sealed or zips but a cute button or lace can also make a good closure. I used those stud pins for such purpose.

Oh yes, velcro will work really good if I intend to put money in it. zips will be a hassle to sew on though..
