How to Make a Drawstring Bag with Mushrooms | Gift-able Slow Stitching Project

Join me Start to Finish as I create a Slow Stitched Drawstring Bag with lots of extra details - making it an elevated work of art. I show my approach to embellishing a fabric collage, give a tutorial on how to use a template to add mushrooms, add a lining with a special lace detail, and show how to create and insert a drawstring & more. There's loads of detail, inspiration and insight.
Come stitch with me and make your own! See the Chapter timestamps below so you can hop around.
Can you name the stitch I use to sew up the edges of the bag? Let me know in the comments!
FAQ:
-I use 2 strands of the six stranded embroidery floss throughout this project
-I use Embroidery needles for stitching and
-Milliners needles for French Knots
Slow stitching this way is so relaxing because you don’t have to think about following a complex pattern or worry about your stitches being perfect. It’s all about free flowing relaxing creativity. Stitch Along with Me! #slowstitching

your videos, templates and voice got me thru the death of my mom, I was lost, and it gave my hand something to do while my mind was in a muddle. I appreciate you. I have made 11 bags and many slow stitches from your ideas

[@peaceofpi-studio]

@@zhinka1 ❤️I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom❤️I’m glad stitching has been a thing you can do in the midst of such a terrible loss. Sending heartfelt condolences❤️

Looks more like Baseball Stitch rather than Corset Stitch, beautiful work as always. I recommend your lovely channel to new stitchers very inspiring easy to understand and a joy to listen to you. Many thanks x

[@peaceofpi-studio]

@@Jen-pr1mx Yes I agree. I think it is the baseball stitch! Thanks so much for recommending my channel!😊🧵🪡

[@Версилия]

У Вас неповторимый стиль. В творчестве это самое главное. И это достойно уважения и интереса. 🌹

[@snarkycard]

I'd call that side stitch the "baseball stitch" because that's what it looks like to me, (especially being red). The stitching on a baseball.

[@peaceofpi-studio]

@@snarkycard That makes so much sense!
