I might call this a mini-make, but it’s only mini in terms of size, not in how long it took! There’s a LOT of whip stitching in this reticule. This is from a book published in 1831, with minimal directions and no pattern. Mine is slightly larger than the dimensions in the book, but I wanted to make sure I could fit everything important in it.

This is part of my 1840s project.
