The Kogin Embroidery Bag is done:
I found a great tutorial for making a zippered bag without a seam at the bottom.
The lining is just a bit of navy cotton. The zip was in my stash of rescued zips unpicked from various things over the years.
I bought the kit a year ago, almost to the day. Took me a while to get around to starting it, so it hasn’t been a year-long project. I liked the style of embroidery, but since it’s effectively the same result as overshot weaving I couldn’t help thinking it would be a lot faster to weave it. A LOT faster to weave it AND you’d get a great deal more fabric.
But who cares about speed and quantity? The method – the journey – was a wonderfully relaxing one and I’d happily take on another kogin kit or project.
VERY cute!
