Cherry tree hand bag

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. After the Magnolia bag I decided I would never again take on another project that requires so much detailed embroidery.And here we are again, another knitted felted embroidered hand bag done! I'm not publishing instructions this time, as I hope to some day sell a few of these bags I wish to keep them as original as possible and avoid people copying these (though if truely inspired, it only takes an intermediate knitter to figure this one out without me publishing any instructions so good luck with that..)

I'm once again truely proud of myself after creating this bag that was first knitted, then felted. The embroidered theme is a dark coffee shade tree with french knot cherry blossoms in white and four different shades of pink. On the inside there is a beautiful cotton lining with similar colour themes featuring a little pocket pouch for keys and such. The light bamboo handles compliment the teal bag perfectly!

  1. Really impressive. I'm always inspired embroidered hand bag but feel that I may lack the patience to apply myself properly. I love cherry blossoms combinations.

  3. I never knew that it depended on the number of stitches one got. I just assumed that it was so much per image that was placed on the garment. Guess you learn something new each day.
