Love the embroidery. My mom taught my sisters and I how to embroidery dish towels when we were young. Now at 73 I still do the dish towels and pillowcases. You do beautiful work on that project. I might make one too. ❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

How wonderful, I would love to do dish towels and pillowcases too!! Thank you so much!

[@ephillips8165]

I actually still have that pattern from back in the 70’s. Just so happened to be looking at it a few weeks ago and just can’t let it go. I like to make aprons and embroidery.

[@cindywinkler4172]

This bag is divine! So cute, love your taste in movies too, definitely classics❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Cindy! There's just something about those classics, isn't there? :)

[@cindyneel328]

I think your bag is so pretty and as always you have done an expert job. How lovely it will be at the grocery. For sure you'll have the prettiest bag in the store!!

[@catherinepeloton4446]

Congratulations. It's just ADORABLE AND UNIQUE.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Catherine!! I love it!

The bag came out so great Lauren! I love to do embroidery, but generally prefer to only add embroidery to functional pieces like you had mentioned. That bag is a great base for other embroidery projects, the ruffles are so cute - I think I may attempt this as a Christmas gift! Thanks for sharing!

[@estilobyelizabeth]

It turned out sooooo beautiful, Lauren! Love how simple but special it is with all the extra details.

[@gstra9577]

This is gorgeous! I am beyond inspired for creating this for myself and for Christmas gifts . Thank you for sharing all the process in such a detail and talking about alternatives without pattern. ❤❤❤

[@user-lk1dt9dz9m]

So beautiful ❤️

[@astridverastegui]

A cute, quiet house, an art project, vinyl records or an Audrey film, and cup of coffee or tea is pure goals. ❤ Add a raspberry tart and a kitten and it’s perfect. ❤

[@dsims868]

Soooo cuteee!! Great job! This fits your vibe 100%!

[@poodlegirl55]

It's beautiful and so unique! I love Betsy Johnson.

[@keelskeels]

So beautiful! I’m surprised at how quickly you were able to do the embroidery! From the pattern I thought it would take months 😂

[@aot9644]

My daughter just picked up embroidering. This is a perfect project for her! Thank you ❤

[@LaurenJohnson]

How fun, thank you so much for sharing! I hope she loves it!

[@HobbyholicDiaries]

Wow! Amazing creativity 👏👏 I also have multiple Hobbies..... Macrame, Embroidery, gift wrapping, cooking, reading......😊 I find embroidery quite therapeutic, joyful 🥰 I love your work dear 🤗🥰💖

[@nedita9475]

So sweet! Well done 🌺

[@shan-gn3ey]

This is so stinkin cute I absolutely love it!!! Think I might actually try something like this, will definitely tagg you when doing so!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Amazing, thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy it! 😍🧵🩷

[@theseamstressatthecottage]

Oh this is darling!! I just love it. I used to love embroidered on my clothes, but I stopped. This is so inspiring that I now have to go and find something to embroider! I also love both parent traps!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!! I would love to try adding embroidery to a clothing project in the future too!

[@theseamstressatthecottage]

@@LaurenJohnson it is totally worth it

[@margaretroberts6258]

Ohhhhhh, that is the cutest tote bag! You have inspired me to try making one and I’m going to attempt some embroidery as well. I used to do it years ago but it got lost somewhere along the way…….🌷❤️🇨🇦

[@LaurenJohnson]

Yay, I hope you enjoy the project as much as I did Margaret!! Thank you thank you!

[@lyndapeterson9948]

Very sweet.

[@butterfly1401]

So cute ❤❤❤❤❤

[@astridverastegui]

I love the idea of lining the bag. It looks so nice. 🥰

[@cheryl1338]

This was really inspiring! I love the way it came out. I have a floral embroidery piece I have been working on since (gasp) 1981 and it's 95% done. I am going to finish it ASAP. I don't know if it would work as a tote, but now I have an idea of another design to make a tote. Thank you for sharing this with us.

[@bajaboolie]

So very cute! I love how the ruffle turned out in that heavyweight fabric. I don’t know how you can sew over pins without your needle breaking. I stopped doing it years ago because of that, then when I saw you doing it a lot I thought it must have been a fluke so I gave it another try. Well, the very first time I went over a pin-snap! Broken needle. 😂 It’s not in the cards for me.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much! Oh no! I think it’s something about this old sewing machine- I never could on the previous one I had! Definitely one of those things I don’t recommend, but always find myself doing 😅

[@leonorjimenez4471]

Love it❤

[@Miss.Denise94]

That's lovely

[@ximenaarrivillaga9353]

is really cute🎉 make want to embroider 😊

[@49lucky]

That is so cute. Yup, Betsy items are one of my favorites too.

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!! I had one Betsey Johnson dress in college, and I just adored it!

[@taytumhubert]

It turned out so lovely Lauren!! I love the details on the florals so much. 🌸🎀💗

[@felixanauribe4017]

I love your KZbin videos 🙂💕 Very beautiful tote bag! You are so talented! 😃

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!!

[@cindypeterson1629]

Hi Lauren, did you know your embroidery looks like a butterfly? it’s beautiful!

[@LaurenJohnson]

Thank you so much Cindy! I thought of that too!

[@sewvintagebysunraedoll]

So pretty, I have a fancy embroidery 🪡 machine-but I prefer doing it by hand 😅 your vintage Betsy Johnson bag is so sweet 💕 What year is that pattern from?

[@ljshaw8516]

Very sweet project! x's lj
