#47: Stemstitch Workbag

needleworkes ♦ February 6, 2015 ♦ Leave a comment

I’ll be teaching a class on basic embroidery stitches at Pencampwr this weekend and needed a sample of stem stitching. So I decided to madk a little stem stitched draw string bag to store threads in my sewing basket.

Worked with Gumnut Yarns silk (gorgeous to work with) on linen, the designs are from A Schole-House for the Needle. (Richard Shorleyker, 1632) The rose design is on the front, and the birdie on the back.
