I saw these design today and had to try them on a bag that I have had waiting for something to go on it. I got the designs from Emb Library, and they are on sale this week. These just reminded me of my girls the day after Thanksgiving. I had to take the side seams out to stitch on the bag, but that was the easy part. Because of the bag construction and design, I had to stitch the embroidery upside down. I had never done that before, but it sure made it a lot easier to get the design in there without everything catching on the embroidery arm. I picked the bag up at Dollar Tree last summer with the intention of putting something different on it, but the design would not fit. That center portion is a pocket, and I did not want to take the bag all apart. But, I like this. There is a total of 47,888 stitches, but the detail on this is remarkable. I may put something else on it, but not certain.

I love it! You have done a remarkable job.

Beth, the shopping bag is very nice *****

These are just so beautifull, just love them. You realy made a great bag.

This bag is truly a Beauty, & I love the designs on it too! I also think you could put your initials above the pocket. That will make it real special for you! & One way to advertise your business. Great Job!

Looks very nice!

If embroidering on the small parts is difficult yoou could add FSL motif with handstitching, as initials or something.
Anyhow - it's nice at it is.
Better not overloades so each design will be seen by itself

absolutely FAB. like it as it is

Turned out great. Thanks for sharing. Arlene

This looks terrific! I've had a similar bag in cream and black lately and created a pocket (from the fabric I put a design on)-to put on the side without a pocket to fit between the lower parts of the handles. You could also make another pocket, finish the top edge, then stitch it down over the existing pocket, if you were to do another like this :) Great work. I love it.

so darling... great job..

Great work. Great designs

Great work

Great job. thanks for sharing

Very nice! Wish I saw some bags like this at the Dollar Tree! I always seem to miss the good stuff though I did pick up a couple of thin fleece neck scarfs to embroider on for a friend and myself.

Cute bag!!

This turned out great.....love the designs....I may have to break down and add them to the stash.

Wish I had a bunch of the bags, I have tons of designs that I need to put on something, lol! For now it is all dishtowels and felt for Christmas.

Very nice:):)Carolyn

Wow, this turned out great - so happy to see you were able to get in that sewing room and work on this project - you go girl.

How about your initials above the pocket. This is such a great idea. I love it. You went through alot but it was well worth it. Great job and thanks for sharing your project and idea!
