One of the classes I took at this years Costume College was how to make a Regency Reticule with JP Ryan and Feather Tippets. It was a great class that moved quickly and most of us left with a bag that was done or near done.
It was alot of fun and one of the best parts was learning how to make the little tassels that get attached to it. They are so easy and quick- but I always forget how things are done so I decided to make a little tutorial to remember. Enjoy tasseling and thanks for stopping by!
