Crewel work


Made this little bag months ago, and all it needed was the cord, so while I was on a roll finished the cords as well. Needless to say the vacuuming will be done some time tomorrow before iron and pack. I love my little bags. I used cork linen, and stranded thread for the embroidery. The front and back are joined with italian insertion stitch which I just love. I also made the loops for the cord with buttonhole stitch, using perle thread.
