Let's say, for instance, that you want With two velvet- a new evening bag. covered sequin-decorated cover-your-own buttons, a yard of narrow velvet ribbon and a 54" long chain, an ordinary evening purse 'can be converted into the expensive-looking shoulder bag illustrated at left.
HERE'S HOW YOU DO IT:
• Take an evening bag approximately 41⁄2" x 8" Cover 2 round buttons (size 46 ligne) with a coral velvet ribbon or fabric, following directions on card. Sew buttons to the lower edge of the face of the bag. Decorate each button, by sewing a sequin flower to the centre of each.
.
Double a strip of coral velvet ribbon. 20 long and 11⁄2" wide. Loop the ribbon around one button. Draw under the bag and over to top edge, down the front, and socure beneath the other button as shown in figure 1.
Buy a chain 54" long with links that ⚫ will spread apart. Slide the chain between the cover and lining along the apper edge of the bag. With pliers open a link and join the two ends of chain to form a shoulder strap.
On party nights, a pair of elbow-length gloves with a custom-made look will add to To make a the glamour of the occasion. pair, like those illustrated at left, simply sew three white lace dalsies to the front of each glove, close to the upper edgo..

You now have a custom touch which you yourself have made with a very little effort but great cleverness.
Another delightful accessory you can make yourself is the reversible clutch bag; pictured at left. Pretty and practical, you can make it by hand without sewing a stitch.
