Beaded Crochet Victorian Purses patterns

Instructions for making three genuine Victorian purses using bead crochet. The instructions have been thoughtfully re typeset to make them easier to read than the original Victorian copy, although the engravings and instructions themselves are intact.
The patterns are for a bridal purse (miser style), a short purse (needs purse clip) and a 'handsome' purse (miser style)

These have been extracted from 'The Ladies Workbook' which contains a plethora of Victorian crochet, knitting and lacework patterns. It is listed separately here on my Tradebit account, and contains these patterns also.
