I’ve just finished embroidering my tote bag. I bought it at the Knitting and Stitching Show in November, it was from a company called Sew Enchanting. It was pre-printed with the design and I could choose what threads and stitches I used. I started it whilst I was on holiday over Christmas – I used it to carry my other stitching projects too, so it was quite a useful bag.
The threads are mainly from Paint Box Threads, they’re single ply and subtly variegated. They were a nice weight for the chain stitch which I used for all the lines. I think the only DMC one was the pink flower at the bottom.
This is where I was last time I shared it with you…
I cracked on and finished all the words. The hymn ‘Morning has broken’ always takes me back to my childhood as it was a regular at school assemblies in those days. Here’s the finished embroidery…
I’m really pleased with how the colours have worked out, it’s all the rich jewel colours I like. I’m planning to line the bag now, I think I’ve done too much work on it to leave it as a simple tote bag!
