You may remember that a few weeks ago I mentioned that I was going to try to make more embroidered “crafty” objects – cushion covers and bags were the things that occurred to me. I wasn’t looking forward to this, because I am particularly clumsy at the sewing machine, but I’ve just finished a little embroidered bag and I have to say that I quite like it.
A Brand New Bag!
The design is an old Jacobean one that I did years ago – it’s in four parts which are stitched separately to make a single embroidered area of about 9 ½ inches square (24 x 24 cm). This piece of fabric is easily incorporated into a bag, and I think it works well here. The bag is actually lined, which is something I was surprised to find that I could do quite easily. So I’m never going to make a fortune by making tote bags, but it’s nice to know that I can actually make them if I try!
Your bag is delightful. I know it would stop traffic in a quilt show!!!!

Hi Mia, Your bag looks fabulous and you design of birds and flowers is so bright and colorful.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
Great piece of work – as usual :o)).
Thank you for sharing.
Wow! I love it!
With your talent, of course you can make tote bags. Love your design, it is definitely a show stopper no matter where/when you use it.
Lovely design and bag! Get a thin fabric pen (Frixon?) and sign your name to the lower right corner to add value if you’re going to sell it. Just love your work!
I love this.
Hooray for you!! Stepping out of your comfort zone and being successful is a great feeling!! You did a fantastic job on embroidery and bag!!
LOVE THIS!!!!
Beautiful work and bag!
This bag is great looking. The design is so bright. It’s beautiful in it’s simplicity.
It is stunning! Who wouldn’t have paid a fortune to own that bag? 😀
