Embroider a Bag

Do you have a favorite design that you would like to enjoy every day? Embroider a bag! You can purchase a simple tote or sew your own bag. If you sew your own, you can embroider each piece before sewing the bag together, using as many designs as you wish.

A purse or tote bag is a great place to use solar-active threads. You will enjoy the changing colors every time you go into the sun or come indoors.

Have a design that is a tad too dense to wear comfortably? It will add body to the finished purse. Embroider fancy initials on a pocket or flap. Embroider an open, lacy design overall for an evening bag. Stitch together those test-stitchouts to make a patchwork shopping bag.

Use the same fabric to make purse accessories to keep your bag organized. There are lots of in-the-hoop designs from which to choose.
