Machine Embroidery: Loving these bags

A few days ago, I finished this bag. The only thing left to do was add some type of tie. Originally, I’d planned on purchasing ribbon and then it dawned upon me… I have yarn! I could simply crochet a string or knit and icord.

I chose this color and crocheted a cord. My daughter thought it should have been magenta or electric blue. Neither one of those colors are in my yarn stash now.

I also made this bag. My daughter loves it even more than the first and asked could she swap. Did I mention she already is using the first bag and it now has a permanent home in her bookbag.

To complete this project, I used two machines; machine embroidery and sewing machine. Additionally, I hand basted some stitches and I crocheted a cord for the first bag.
