The Heather Bag

I purchased my Babylock Embellisher in late 2006 and within a few months I had moved from flat wool roving to mixing the roving with a variety of found materials. I found some great bits of information on using the long fibers as a binding agent but it was not enough.

I created some test pieces and created a tote bag combining punched fabric, roving, sheer organza, Angelina fibers and machine embroidery. I punched it and attached it to a canvas bag.

I was hooked.
