Hi all! I’m back with another installment in my hand embroidery video tutorial series. This time I wanted to use some of the stitches we’ve already learned to embellish a cute tote bag. The bag is fully lined and features some fun denim fabric and an embroidery design from the Stitched Style book by my friend, Amy Barickman of Indygo Junction. It’s a great little resource guide with a variety of hand embroidery designs and 20 cute projects.

Hi Vanessa-
Love this series. I’m just getting back into embroidery so this is perfect! Also needed a stronger way to make a strap, how awesome is the one you teach here!! Can’t wait to do it. You look great, btw.
Blessings to you and yours.
