1st!🤣🧶

I collect and repair antique purses. All beaded, loomed, crocheted, embroidered, leather and metal ones. I am also a Bead artist. When you have a bead on your string that is mis-shapened all you need to do is take a pair of pliers and smash the bead, that breaks off and you keep crocheting. Also, they would have used silk purse twist, which acts very different from cotton crochet thread. Your difficulties are more often due to the cotton thread. You made a very nice finished product. And for those that think this would never work in modern day, you are right. There was not a need to carry ID, large car key fobs, pen & paper, cell phones or even a large amount of money or credit cards. So a small purse is perfect. now a project bag is a different animal and does need to be larger. There were also shopping bags (think our reusable shopping bags) that were often crocheted or fabric in construction.

My mother would say “ you wouldn’t notice it on a galloping horse”

You might have forgotten, in the UK what we call a purse is for holding money and generally kept in a handbag (what you call a purse). You did a great job with the pattern and so much more patient than me with beadwork. I tried it once, and I had the beads on the coffee table, the dog wagged her tail at the door knocking, three months later I'm still finding beads 😅😅😅

When I get beads stuck I’ll use plyers or hammer very lightly smash them. Sometimes cuts thread so you have to be careful. Maybe put towel between

Heck YES I can see someone holding up a supermarket line so they can tie their Victorian coin purse closed! And I'd hope to be the person right behind them so I can say, "Oh my goodness, that is so cute. Did you make that yourself?!"

These beaded crochet projects are just so elegant. I do hope you will be doing more of them.

That pattern at first I thought would make an awesome sleeve cuff embellishment to see on the ends of a 3/4 sleeve or on a business blouse.

I’m so glad you went back to putting your music back in your vintage videos. It just makes it so much more back in that time. So thank you again 😄❤️🫶✌️

Very pretty "little" long bag. Can I recommend you going to Elena Rugel Crochet. She does a lot of bead work in her patterns and you can watch her to see how to make that 1st wrap with the bead like it said to in the pattern. I think it will make more sense to you after you watch her for just a few minutes. There's nothing "wrong" with what you did and you made it work "Corrinna style" but it might not work well for you in another project doing it the way you did. I'm not griping at you!!! You are amazing and I love ya like a little crochet daughter. I hope you have "known me" long enough to know that but wanted to make it clear for anyone else reading this, too. ❤️🧶😅

Corinna, in the future if you have one bead that is unusable, take a pair or pliers and crush the bead. They break really easy!

I've never crocheted with beads and -- in all honesty -- i probably never will. But this was very pretty and dainty.

My husband's mother used to spend the 1st day 'beading' her tiny black silk crochet thread. They didn't even start the pattern until they had a 5 gallon bucket full. She made some of the most beautiful jewelry ever worn. I never had the chance for her to show me. And she made bead bags as well. Thanks for sharing. A lot of the older patterns were written with the assumption that everyone knew how to crochet. My grandmother put my 1st hook in my hand when I was 5 years old. I made a scarf😮 and yes I still have the needle. Good old Susan Bates!

The filet row would be pretty with a ribbon woven through. Very pretty pattern!

Everything you make is magical and it's so hard to learn and try new things directly on camera. You are doing great.

The long beaded purse would make a nice phone purse. This little one is cute.

Wow! I have a lot more appreciation for my grandmothers beaded bags!!

I had never crocheted with beads till I watched you do it. Love your content!!

Look cute on the christmas tree with chocolate coins or sweets in .

Gorgeous purse. Just a tip from a beader, if I needed to break a bead, I would get a push pin (from the noticeboard) and an eraser. You put the eraser under your work and gently push the pin into the bead and the eraser at the same time. This saves your thread from breaking.

Corinna, the next time you do a beaded video, can you please show us how to go about adding or lessening beads. I started the last beaded purse & I’m stuck with that pattern. Thank you for all you do. You’re so sweet & awesome. ✌️🫶

You could also crochet a round cord with gold thread to close it with and add tiny gold tassels to the ends of that cord. Such a sweet pattern and the double stacked beads just make the look without complicating the pattern. Nicely done girl!

I’ve never seen beading with crochet. That stitch combo is really! Cute!

It's such a cute little purse. I probably would have made many more rows and folded it on the horisontal instead of the vertical, just to make it bigger. Run a ribbon through the top row of open work

I love beaded work, it's just beautiful! I'm so glad you shared this, I was so excited when I saw the title of the video. 😍 PS that is the cutest lil coin purse ever!!!

I can’t imagine working with thread. I think I would be SO frustrated but you’ve inspired me. I just might try (maybe😂). This was so delicate & feminine. I love it!

I have a matching vintage dress and bag beaded this way. It is gorgeous but HEAVY!

That purse is beautiful, I'd use it daily but to hold doggy bags.

When I needed to remove a bead from the middle of my work, I used a cutting plyer and just snipped it. I'm talking about the ones you had on each side on the first two rows. That purse is absolutely gorgeous! I always enjoy your videos.

This is the cutest little coin pouch everrrr. Love love love! I’m so so jealous of how good you can interpret and read a pattern this hard. You’re so talented! Keep up the good work 🤍❤️

I am learning so much watching you experiment. This helps me understand the principles of crochet

Oh Corina, what a cute coin purse! The ladies of that era would have been so jealous! As always, you did a wonderful job…😊

This is interesting cuz this is the first video i have seen that shows how to do beads. Granted i havent looked for it but thank you. I love your videos!

Super cute, C! Love it, love you. I hope you have an excellent day friend. Hugs (Oh, I finally went to the eye doctor when I couldn't hold my arms out long enough anymore! 🤣)

As a strip it would make lovely cuffs and collar for an evening jacket.

beautiful music thankyou and beautiful purse

My goodness that is SO cute! Beautiful work!

Really sweet little purse. Could be repurposed nowadays for earbuds or charging cable

Really enjoy listening to your videos while I work on my own project

That is SO ADORABLE. I love it!

Cute pouch thanks. Haven't used coins in a decade but the pouch could be used for so many things.

Such a creative idea!!! I love the mystery aspect of it! Makes for a really engaging watching experience:)

Love it!!!! I especially liked that the pattern used beading with double crochet stitches. The patterns I've used and seen have used single crochets. One problem with the coin purse, especially if left unlined, is that coins and bills are shockingly dirty (actual physical dirt, oils, etc.). So you either have to wash the purse (hand wash, use detergent), or launder the money (ha!).

It’s so delicate and pretty.

This started out as a "trust the process" and IT PAID OFF!!! Now in my foreseeable future, there WILL BE beads and MORE STRING/YARN 😊😊

So pretty! I love it❤

I'd use it as the FRONT of the bag, and then make the opposite side something that's tightly crocheted ... it's a gorgeous little piece

I teally like this! I think I'll make one for my vintage kidskin opera gloves.

It would be cute to give with lipsticks. Cute bag.

I love how you do what you do! When I "read" a pattern, it's always just a guess as to what is meant by the limited words, or weird wording. I usually just make things up as I go along until I like my results. Cheers!🧶

The small size makes a nice sachet bag. To put nice smelling herbs and spices in.

wow...i love vintage crochet 😇😇🥰🥰

This is such a beautiful piece. I know you found the ribbon but it doesn’t do the bag justice (to its beauty). Lovely work.

I think that’s absolutely beautiful 😻

Can't tell you how much I enjoyed the video. I'm in Scotland UK and learnt to crochet from an American KZfaq channel so when trying an old (uk) pattern I worked keeping American translation not knowing we were different. I still crotchet American because it makes sense to me. The purse is beautiful and the tutorial was so well done, I must add some beads now exciting stuff. Thank you so much and one other thing, your choice of music is the best. What a gem of a channel 💖

I have crocheted with beads. So pretty and never had a problem.

Beautiful little coin purse. I have knitted little beaded bags but never crocheted with beads.

This would be gorgeous border on a silk scarf

I just ordered some thread and beading needles (already have the beads) because I was thinking of doing some beading crochet. I had no idea what to make and then your video popped up. Thanks for sharing this project. I think I am going to try it!

Very cute! Well done! (Even small 😉)

The green ribbon goes great with the gold beads. What a wonderful find!

i just finished making a beautiful dice bag for my fiance, thank you for this series! these make beautiful gifts. i accidentally bought size 10 thread instead of 20 and it was very frustrating XD

Fantastic! You’ve got patience and talent and I so appreciate your hard work bringing us these fun and historic crochet creations!🙏💜

I have watched several of these, she does wonderful work but nothing I’d care to make! Cute but too much work ! Glad she likes it 💕

That is super, super cute!

Oh my goodness! What a cute little coin purse! beautiful! I love watching u crochet to see what the mystery crochet is going to be. Keep the videos coming.

That is proper cute, well done.

Such delicate work! Beautiful ❤️

I think I have to do a beaded project now. I thought this already with the fleur d'lis bag. It looks very pretty. I think I would have made a flap and close it with a beutiful button or a peace of juweliery. I am so happy I found your channel, not even that you entertain me but I also learn so much. Thank you.

I just love your videos - your confidence and ability to share every aspect (mistakes, etc) has given me a bit of fearlessness in projects. Thank you and keep on keeping on!!!!!

You have so much more patience than me. I'm currently making on and off a simple shell stitch centerpiece with size 10 crochet thread and a #7 hook (you're correct, it is 1.65 mm). I do have a #9 hook, but I haven't gotten brave enough to try to use it yet, much less adding beading to it.

I love it, it's so cute.

Love this pattern!!! I also love the way you do your tutorials! Thank you for sharing this with us!

So very adorable! I love it!😊❤

I love this!!! Thanks Corinna!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

So cute!

Such a pretty little bag!! ❤

Great job! I love it!

Beautiful, love it

Love it! So pretty.

Beautiful, I love it!

I love it!!!

Classiest moneybag ever! Love it!

Oh, that is so cute!!

Very, very cute.

My grandmother and my mother made me a few of these over the years for my lunch money😊

It's super cute. Beautiful christmas gift idea for my sisters. Maybe a bit early to think about that 😄

Such a perfect lil coin purse and the colors are just lovely for it

So pretty, great work

Love the pattern and as always you are a wonderful teacher. I want to say too that I love the background music because it’s calming.

I love it! I have to make this!

Very pretty! Old patterns are like this are so confusing to me. I tried to follow one in a book from my mother and my brain could not compute. I had to draw a diagram for myself before I understood. I'm crocheting along with you on a different project, but mine's going to be pretty big. I don't think I would be able to make some so small and fine, so good job.

I love to put beads on my scarves, not a lot, just a twinkle every now and then.

What an adorable little purse, Corrina!

Completely unrelated, but I love your nails in this video 😊

What a cute beaded item!

Love all the patterns 😊

Love this!

Beautiful, great job. Thank you

Another fantastic video! I love that little "long" purse! ❤👛 It was just the perfect size too. Well done! 👏👏🎉🎉
