Embroidery 101 : Block 2

I start  printing the pattern for Block 2
 immediately after I received

the email from Clover and Violet yesterday. 

Since I have no other project that I've been working on

currently... so I start stitching it last night. 

Attached is one of the picture while the stitching
was on progess. 

Finalising the thread color with the Block ...

AND  here is  the completed Block 2 ...

Quilted Drawstring Tote Bag

This week I've been busy sewing this drawstring tote bag....
quilted drawstring tote bag to be exact.

I'm using stash fabric that available in my collection ...

This time round I choose green and brown color combination.
The size of the bag is about 16"x 14"
The length of the handle is about 20"



 This will be my 1st quilted drawstring tote bag that I've sew.
At the end of the string I handsew with crocheted flower
with beads and sequin...

I also sew at the outside of the bag with pink flower

 applique to make it more outstanding and interesting...

which I feel without it make the bag look dull.



 The inside comes with a holder to be used to hang keys...
especially car keys.
It will be more convenient to have it separate from
other items in the bag.

Basically I don't follow any specific bag pattern.

So I can claim this bag is my own pattern...

Happy Sewing !!
