making a close sided burse

[@vroscarrod]

Yes, I big thank you. I am restoring a 70 year old burse that is failing on the edges. Once I find the right color of fabric I will be on my way. Many thanks. And I am hoping our pastor will be open to using a burse and chalice veil on Sundays. Such beauty!

Wonderful!

Thank you for this instructional video. I finished making my first burse today and followed each step. I actually took apart a 10 x 10 inch older burse (made quite strangely..., but had beautiful embroidery) , using the material and appliques and made a new one. Your method was simple and easy to make. I'm a slow learner when comes to this kind of thing but you gave me confidence to try more projects.

Oh, I'm so glad.

Thank you Sister Mary John. I have been struggling with making a burse. This video was very informative. I sat right down after watching and made a burse the right way! Blessings to you Sister Mary John.

Very good. I hope you got your scissors sharpened. 😀. I’ve made many burses but never using this technique. I like the technique. I’m going to try it today. Thanks.

How do you know where the 'center' of the top of the burse is? It looks like the applique is positioned nearer the fold than the edge that gets folded under near the board.

[@maryjohn1702]

It is closer to the fold than the edge because the edge has seam allowance. I use 9 inch square boards so measure up 4.5 inches from the fold for the center of the burse.

[@suzannepaul8951]

If I wanted to make the inside of the burse a different fabric do I have to have a seam at the tip where it opens? Because I would cut 4 squares and seam it up where the fold would be then treat it as one rectangle like you did.

[@maryjohn1702]

Yes you are correct. You will need to sew the lining to the main fabric and this will leave you with a seam on the edge where the fold used to be.
