Thank you ladies! The handles include the purse pattern. The “teardrop” is a cutout in the handles that have sticky strips that the fabric adheres to. You tuck the fabric under the handle cutout which also have strips underneath to secure the fabric. Pretty easy to do btw.
The purse pattern is in Japanese! If you can “read” a paper pattern and follow the visual illustrations you should not have a problem with constructing the purse. A simple pattern....I added fusible fleece to the lining to give some structure. You can use Soft & Stable for even more structure. Add inside pockets if you desire and add a magnetic snap for a closure as an option too.
Your independently owned quilt shops and machine dealers can order these from their supplier. That is how I acquired mine. The info is in the photo. Have fun!
