Summer is the first time to collect herbs and flowers. Marigolds, chamomile, calendula, linden - all this is a real treasure in the season of colds and ailments. What winter is without a medicinal “crop”?
It is for such purposes that special “repositories" are needed. We offer to make creative fabric bags to save your valuable stock. It will not only be easy to store herbs, flowers or seeds in them, but also very convenient, practical and beautiful.

Prepare a dense fabric for sewing the base, hoop, needle with a big eye, thick yarn (it is better to use for knitting) green, red (you can use any other), plus yellow or salad colors. You will also need a small piece of any ribbon and sewing thread for flashing the sides of our bag.

First, let's start creating a floral decor. Indeed, embroidering on a large plane is easier than on the front side of a narrow and small bag.

The fabric is tightly fixed with a hoop, then we take a ruler and a simple pencil to make the markup.

In the center of the stretched fabric, draw a square with sides of 8 cm.

We divide it into equal squares, drawing horizontal and vertical lines inside it at a distance of 2 centimeters from each other. Then we sew each of these lines with a thread, leaving only the outer sides of the square intact.

In small figures we embroider crosses. They consist of diagonals that connect the opposite corners of each square.

Then we grab these crosses in the center with a thread of salad color, stitching the intersection of green threads with the fabric.

Now in the zone of non-seized places we create flowers. We sew roses with red thread, interlacing it with a green frame in a circle.

Be sure to alternate the grip “above the thread” and “under the thread” so that the red yarn is woven evenly.

At the end, we sew the contour of a large square with red thread and fasten with light green stitches along each side.

    I sewed similar bags at school - only from burlap, it is convenient to embroider with a cross on it. But these are even prettier! I immediately wanted to go and try to embroider.
