Lavenderbags
I cut my lavender in the garden and filled a number of bags. Strictly speaking this is not embroidery, but sewing. I used some of the stitches on my machine and a wing needle for some. Cut a strip the width of my fabric and had a go at

Thank you. Now and again I love to do things myself instead of having my machine do them for me. Especially when I have been digitising.

These are lovely...I bought some lavender and it it beautiful, but I think I got the wrong variety...it doesn't smell...what variety do I need to look for next time? Love the wing needle detail!

I don't know what variety mine is, I got a few cuttings from my sister-in-law and I liked the smell, so I'll make cuttings this year to get some more plants.

I love,love lavender I wish I could grow French variety but won't grow and stay around in my area. These bags are first rate love them. I know this may be silly question. But I am a curious gal. So Is the wing needle like cutwork? I got a cutwork kit last year when hubby got me Embird at Christmas and I hope to try it out. This is great idea so pretty!!!!

No the wing needle ( called sword needle in Dutch) has the shape of a sword, but only has a sharp point. The wngs are blunt.
Cutwork needles really cut the fabric, the wing needle just pushes the threads to the sides.

Thanks I dug out the cd and watched the cutwork really interesting now will look into the wing more. That helps me see their purpose. I will have to go for both. I just had basic 101 sewing until this machine. I am loving the discovery of what I can do.
I have wing needles but never used it i dont know how to use them what type of emb do i use and what material your lavender bags are lovely

Thanks. It's fun to make. Last year I made a lot muslin bags on the serger (3 sides only) and had several left over, filled those with this year's lavender and stitched the last side. I store them in a tin till I have the outer bags (still need a new a batch of outer bags).
