A Big Reticule or Small Workbag

atherleisureI decided to make cords out of silk sewing thread for the drawstrings on my reticule so it is now finished. It worked out perfectly that I had four tassels leftover from the trim for my spencer earlier in the year.
It's big enough to hold the little evening bodice I finished Saturday along with the things I normally want to carry to an event and possibly my knitting, though I'll have to check it out with purse and keys and phone and the like.
The shape is from a bag in the Met Museum, but I made it larger than the original. I found some fashion plates where the women are carrying bags that are about the length of their forearms so I decided it was feasible.
