I was thinking about simple beginner projects and I came up with this, which I hope people will think is fun and easy. This is a FREE (a gift from me to you) pattern and instructions on how to make a Regency Era Reticule. It works well for the Edwardian era as well. My only request, if you use this pattern, please post pictures of your finished bags. I’d love to see the differences and the lovely work everyone does. Here’s the PhotoBucket album with the pattern and step by step photo instructions. Be sure to read the Headings and the notes for each photo. s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj42/DawnLuck/Retucule%20Pattern/And here’s what my finished reticule looks like. It’s made out of a grosgrain silk with a tiny shiny dot woven in. I made a simple cotton muslin lining.  |

Just finished this one using Dawn's pattern (thanks again!)  My mom had some kitchen curtains she was discarding that had all kinds of embroidered wildflowers on them. I have enough to make a couple more. Love it when I can recycle! |

Very, very sweet. I especially like the look of the tassel. What’s it made of? I can see ribbon in it and …maybe chenille?

Thanks! The tassel is actually all embriodery floss, a mixture of turquoise and a slivery one. You can't really see from the pic, but the liner is a turquoise and can barely be seen through the eyelet.

Thank you very much. I will really enjoy having a go with this one. It will suit very well for my Regency ball at the Jane Austen festival in September.

What am I doing wrong? I signed in as I am supposed to, but when I click on the pattern link it says "Forbidden." Help!

dorothywillis, did you try the second link she posted? It is reply # 9. I tried the first one and got "Forbidden" as well, but the second one worked for me

Sorry for the links not working. I think it's all fixed now. The photos and instructions got scrambled out of order. Here's hoping it all makes sense!

Oh that's so cute! I will try it as soon as I find a cute (and historical correct hahaha) fabric for it!

I made this by hand (all hand-sewn) this weekend, and was surprised at how quickly it worked up. What a delightful pattern. I still need to add some decorations, but I couldn't wait. I think the fabric I chose (a damask, lined with cotton) was too heavy, so it turned out quite bulky, but I love it anyway.  |

This is my first post on this board. I just wanted to thank the original poster for sharing her pattern for this lovely reticule. I stumbled upon both the board and the bag while searching the web for a reticule to make for my daughter to go with her prom dress. She's asked me to make her a Victorian gown. Although I'm attempting a reproduction of an 1880's evening gown, not a Regency-period dress, she still needed a bag to go with it, to keep her keys and cellphone in. Talk about an anachronism! Anyway - here are the results, just completed today!  |
