Crazy quilted purse

A while ago I dabbled in Crazy Patchwork and wanted to add lace to this purse, but couldn't find exactly what it needed.

This was my first time stitching velvet and Crazy Patchwork.  Using  stranded cottons, beads, a shisha mirror and even incorporating a perlè bound washer on the lower left of the back.  There were lots of stitches that were new to me - split stitch, feathered chain, double herringbone - and a few not so new - chain stitch, french knots, and lazy daisy flowers.

I then decided I needed to make my own lace.
