Hi there, the tag actually says polyurathane, this is a purchased cosmetic bag. I bought a few @ a really good sale & I wanted to enhance them with an embroidery but didn't know if I could sew on this medium. It was very tricky & time consuming & I am happy with the result even if it isn't quite centered, no way to fix this ( because of zipper) It is from Cute-Cross Stitch Alpha Designs.

I think you did a great job! Did you have to open up the side of it to lay it on the hoop? Well DOne!

thank you & yes I had to open it on one side & the bottom & up part of the other side sew that it would lay flat. I didn't think that I would be able to match it up again & I was worried about the holes from the needle. But I was pretty close sew it turned out better than I thought. All of the advice I was given but one said don't do it!

Beatiful and well worth the effort. As to the advice not to do it--well, you never know until you do.

I think you did a fantastic job! Must have been hard to do on a ready made bag like that. You're very brave to attempt it! LOL

It was a bit tricky & I wish I could have centered it, but I would have had to take off the zipper & I didn't want to do that!
