Excess baggage

I still have some of these cotton shopping bags left to stitch / embroider/ bleach / applique / decorate in new ways, but I'm pretty happy with the results so far. Looking forward to flying home tomorrow and getting some feedback when I give them out as gifts :)

Floral applique

For my final birthday present I went back to applique, and stitched this flower design onto the bag. I really love the colours in these fabrics.

 

Dandelion design

Birthday present bag no.2 - today I tried a slightly more simple stitch design! I really like the bead detail.
