With the picture from the movie I had another problem picking what lines to use for the simple outline or what color. I found the thick green fabric on sale so that was the start and decided on a tan and brown floss. With all of the supplies I had to pick what size of a bag and embroidery the picture on the fabric before I sewed the bag up. This was my first embroidery project but had a good idea on how to do it. I researched and caught up with a stitch dictionary and knew most of them or had an idea on how do to it. I used the split stitch for most of the bag and loved the results. With the other stitches you use a lot of floss in the back.
This is the finished bag that I made. I have finally figured out how to do lined bags and pockets from help with the Buttercup Bag pattern.
I also took the plunge and learned how to sew a bag with a zipper using that tutorial. I also embroidered something on both sides. One is a picture of Tinkerbell and on the other side was a head of Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
One of the items she made me was this cross stitch hedgehog for Ace. Here is the photo with it!
Now that I have finished one swap I can sign up for 5 more but not going to get too over my head.
