My project for September was a gift for my lovely friend Cath, who I'm hoping will be accompanying me to the Jane Austen Festival (work permitting).
The project started out as a simple reticule, then I decided I want to do some embroidery and it got steadily more complicated from there.
The reticule is pale yellow satin with a white cotton lining, and a pale yellow cotton bottom (as I figured cotton would be easier to clean if it accidentally got put down in something icky), it is decorated with lace at the top and a tassel at the bottom.
The embroidery is mainly a satin stitch, with a few decorative stitches thrown in.
I used two patterns, a wreath and a monogram.

I'm sorry I don't have any "in progress" shots, I'm still trying to remember to stop and take them.
