Vintage Elegance

 Designed by Mary Polityka Bush

 This business card pouch or small purse design uses Kreinik's Vintage colors, which have a muted, antique finish rather than a brighter metallic finish.  It's a perfect look for autumn, and you can wear this little pouch to guild events or consumer shows. The lattice work is done with the Fine (#8) Braid, and the leaves are created with the slightly thicker Tapestry (#12) Braid.  As you stitch this design, notice the difference in dimension produced by the two thread sizes; the Tapestry Braid, being larger, brings additional 'depth' to each leaf.

Materials needed:

• Kreinik Tapestry (#12) Braid 153V and 003V
• Kreinik Fine (#8) Braid 150V
• Kreinik 1/8" Ribbon 153V
• 7" x 13" piece of Zweigart Lt. Caramel Congress Cloth
• #24 Tapestry needle, masking tape, 7" x 13" stretcher bars
