Project / Stitched Tote Bags

Recently I have been trying to find more practical applications of my cross-stitching, and since I’m a bit of a tote-hog, I decided to give tote-stitching a try. Using tear away mesh, which is basically a removable grid you can stitch on and then remove- I was able to stitch directly on my recycled cotton eco-bag.

The process was a bit frustrating because the grid by its nature is flexible and can lead to some wonky stitches- but overall they turned out well. This tote will soon be filled with camping gear for our first Oregon camping trip this spring. I might even be able to fit Zoe in there…
