In the hoop pocket purse

This is an easy project for someone with embroidery software. There's even a free tutorial from Bernina, which uses their software, but it should be possible to figure it out from the tute.
Bernina tutorial for the pocket purse.

What you do is:
  1. Make sandwich with Fabric right side up, then a layer of cutaway stabilizer, and another piece of fabric right side down.
  2. Hoop this and stitch out the pattern. 
  3. Trim the edges close to the satin stitching, add a closure and fold the bottom over. 
  4. Zigzag the right and left sides down, and then you have a little purse
To make the pattern:
  1.  Place a single stitch long rectangle with a curved top in your design
  2. Fill that with a light pattern
  3. Add the small rectangle and put a different pattern in it. 
  4. Add an oval and put a monogram in it
  5. Put a satin stitch around the oval
  6. Put a satin stitch around the small rectangle
  7. Put a satin stitch around the long rectangle
That's it! Sorry for the poor picture quality, but DH has the camera at the moment and I scanned this in.
