ITH ladybird purse. I have made the eyes a bit bigger since I tested the design.


You will need two pieces of fabric, approx 5" x 4" in red and two in black. Use black thread for all except the eyes. I added a thin layer of wadding between the layers of fabric.

Hoop stabiliser and stitch colour 1 which is the outline and marks the placement for the zip.

Lay the fastened zip, face up, so that the teeth are on the centre line, the open end to the left of the hoop and all metal parts beyond the edges of the outline. (That is vital - you will need a zip longer than you think!)

Colour 2 will stitch the zip to the stabiliser.

Lay one of the red pieces of fabric, FACE DOWN over the zip and one long edge parallel the top of the hoop. It should cover the outline. Colour 3 will stitch it to the zip. Flip the fabric over to reveal the zip.

Repeat this process with the other piece of red fabric and colour 4.

At this stage, you could add the wadding.

The next colour stitches the spots and the head, followed by the eyes.

Open the zip halfway NOW or you will regret it!

Add the black pieces of fabric with a layer of wadding between them and a loop before stitching the final outline.

Remove from hoop, trim away excess fabric about 6mm away from the stitching line. Remove the stabiliser from the area over the zip and turn through. Press.

Ladybirds belong to the scientific family Coccinellidae. In Britain, some 46 species belong to this family, although only 26 of these are recognisably ladybirds.

Cotton - I thought fleece might be nice but the that stretch might cause the zip to be wavy!
