Item details

I have made this small bag or pouch from a fabulous little vintage embroidery sample. It features two pretty butterflies amongst the garden flowers, and is sprinkled with little vintage buttons.Embroidery threads in lilacs, pinks and purple make this a special little bag. It would make a lovely present for an embroidery student, a vintage textile fan, or someone who needs a virtual hug right now.

The cross stitch is embroidered onto “evenweave” fabric, which is woven with tiny holes to make counting and stitching easier. This gives it an overall texture.
It is backed onto cotton to give it strength, but it is still a soft little bag.
It measures 20 cm across and 18 cm deep, and has a bottle green 20 cm long zip opening.
The front is embroidered with tiny cross stitches and scattered with vintage buttons, and there is a hook to hang it up somewhere special and admire the needlepoint.
The back is made from blue denim, and the lining is a bottle green toile patterned vintage fabric.
It is finished off with my own embroidered label.
I like to reuse. Your bag will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my stash, and posted out as Royal Mail 2nd class.

Hi there and welcome to my shop. Here you will find old embroideries, vintage fabrics and sparkling remnants made into something pretty and practical once again. I re-stock slowly but surely, so do keep coming back for a browse.
As I try to recycle where I can, your order will arrive wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard.
Thank you for visiting me at Folksy.

Just before lock down, I found the most wonderful collection of cross stitch samplers at a table top sale in York. This gifted needlewoman had taken so much care with them all, but never used them in any way. I am trying to give them a pretty and practical use, so that many more people can enjoy her beautiful sewing skills even tho I will never know who she was.There is a matching blue toned bag to this also in my shop right now.
