Additional Information
In the kit you can read all about Janine Pope inspiration for her original charming design, and you will have the pattern to make the same design in two ways: one, with appliqué and machine embroidery, and the other with hand embroidery. I chose to embroider the design by hand, using the white and off-white threads in the kit. The embroidery can be as simple as outline stitch, or you can treat it like a stitch sampler and try different stitches. It is a very relaxing kit to stitch, and would make the most charming present for anyone with Scandinavian connections. I fill my bag every year with Eucalyptus and a couple of cards as shown.
If you plan to make the appliqué version, you may use the printed panel by turning the side with the design to the inside. Please note, the only materials in the kit are the printed panel for the front of the bag and a thread card. In the UK, you can buy lovely fabrics from Cowslip Workshops. In the US, you could buy wonderful linens from Blackberry Primitives, who also ship to the UK. I recommend Shortbread.
The finished bag is 28cm x 24 cm.
