Interesting technique. I would have never thought of embroidery sewing on top of painted picture. It is striking.
My sister is so into crafts and sewing, she would love to do something like this. Especially letting the kids help.
really neat looking tote
adorable bag – but I’m concerned about the longevity of the handle – how do these survive kidlet wear and tear…?
Cool bag.
Very cool tote. I would love to try my hand at making my own.

This is beautiful! I thought it was all embroidery at first-did not realize it has paint, too!
Pattern offers lots of decorating options.
