I created my needlepoint self-finishing leather purse as an affordable alternative to traditional finishing, which can cost $800+. This 6x9-inch bag features a full-grain leather body, satin lining, zipper closure, two interior pockets, and interchangeable leather handles with a removable strap. It’s the perfect way to finish your own needlepoint projects, pair with your favorite kits, and carry your stitching proudly—without the luxury price tag.

I’ve always loved the art of needlepoint. There’s something so rewarding about pulling threads through canvas, watching a design come to life stitch by stitch. But as much as I love creating, one of my biggest frustrations has always been finishing.

When I started researching finishing options for leather needlepoint purses, I was shocked. Many finishers were charging $800 or more just to complete the bag. While I value the craftsmanship that goes into professional finishing, I knew there had to be a better, more affordable way for stitchers like me. That’s when I decided to create my own needlepoint self-finishing leather purse.

Why I Chose Self-Finishing

For me, self-finishing is about control and creativity. I didn’t want to send my canvas away for months and wait anxiously for its return. I wanted a way to finish my own projects, enjoy them faster, and still have a high-quality product I’d be proud to carry.

That’s how this bag came to life. My self-finishing leather purse includes:

• A 6x9 inch canvas insert that’s perfect for most needlepoint canvases.

• A full-grain leather body with a satin lining that feels elegant and durable.

• Two interior pockets (one zippered, one open) for everyday essentials.

• A secure zipper closure.

• Leather handles that are fully interchangeable, so I can swap them out for different looks.

• A full leather body strap that’s also removable.

• Extra handles available separately, making it easy to customize the purse for any occasion.

I love that I can pair this bag with canvases from my favorite needlepoint kits or design something totally custom. The interchangeable handles give me the freedom to match my purse to my outfit, the season, or even the event I’m heading to.

Making Needlepoint Finishing Affordable

Creating this purse was my way of making finishing more accessible. Instead of paying hundreds of dollars, I wanted stitchers like me to have an option that felt like luxury without the luxury price tag. I get to enjoy my stitching and carry it proudly every day—without the guilt of overspending.

My Goal with This Purse

My vision is simple: to give stitchers an affordable, high-quality option for finishing their own work. I believe needlepoint should be fun, creative, and rewarding—not stressful or out of budget.

Now when I complete a canvas, I don’t have to hide it away in a drawer or wait months for it to come back from a finisher. I can finish it myself, slide it into this leather purse, swap out the handles if I want a new look, and enjoy it immediately. And honestly? That feeling is priceless.

If you’ve ever hesitated to start a needlepoint kit because you weren’t sure how you’d finish it, this bag might be exactly what you need.
