While I loved my pink reticule, it is really too small to do me any good. I mean, not that I have anywhere to wear all this Regency stuff, but if I ever did, I'd want a purse big enough to carry my things; and the pink reticule wasn't.
So I made a new one, from stash fabric scraps:
This one is about 10" tall, plus the ruffle around the top, and is big enough to carry my phone, wallt, keys and whatever else I put in there. It's a poly-taffeta lined with blue linen, with a poly satin ribbon to close it, and tassels made from cotton embroidery floss.
There's nothing here for scale, sadly, but this is on my ironing board - it covers the entire width, and I can fit my outstretched hand inside the wide part of the pieces. PLENTY big enough.
Fun fact: making tassels is for the birds.
