The Accidental Embroiderer

Some bags for the fair

This seems to be the season for art exhibitions and craft fairs, and in a moment of weakness some time ago, I offered to take a stand at a local Christmas craft fair. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it's only recently dawned on me that if I'm going to show at a craft fair, I'd better have something to show. So I've been hysterically busy trying to put together a decent selection of things to exhibit. The problem is that I'm much more of a designer than a crafter, and in particular I'm hopeless at sewing. However I made a commitment so I've put together a collection of things that I hope won't disgrace me. Here, for example, are some little embroidered bags.

As we're in Pictish country here, I thought it might be a good idea to feature some Pictish and Celtic motifs. They're very colourful and eye-catching, and look pretty good – as long as you don't inspect the sewing too closely!

  1. They look just gorgeous! Very eye-catching! I love them all! And the second one on the first row of the first photo most :o)))

  2. I think they look wonderful! I hope you get lots of attention and that it’s fun enough to make all the work worth it!
