WIP

I'm still working slowly on turning the beaded knitting into a bag. I was thinking of putting a zip along the opening of the bag, until I read the competition specifications again and saw, 'The bag must open wide enough to enable easy access to the contents.'    Hmm. Better use a gusset then. When I made the practice purse, I used a rectangular gusset, but I don't think that'll fit well with the tulip design. A triangular gusset then. On the practice piece, the gusset is in satin, but according to my 'advisers' the gusset must be knitted, although it will have a satin lining as well. It'll be easier to cut a satin gusset to match a knitted one than vice versa, so I've been knitting the gussets. It took me several goes to get the dimensions right. Fingers crossed these will work:
