About your Happy Hearts Sweet Bag and Tools Project

The “Happy Hearts Sweet Bag and Smalls” is such a beautiful and practical project!  The verse perfectly  describes our gratitude for the joy that we have in our needlework, as well as all the friendships formed in our gatherings. Inside there is a matching Biscornu pincushion, and a delicate Scissors Case and Fob to enhance your beautiful embroidery scissors. They fit neatly in the pockets, along with your flosses, scissors, needles and pins. The floral Elizabethan vine climbs all over the outside of the sweet bag curling around the specialty stitches. Finally, at the end of this leaflet, you’ll find a gorgeous step by step finishing guide to help you finish your own sweet bag like Lisa did. You will be proud to use this elegant set at your next meeting or gathering! :) 

For this learning design, you will learn and practice Queen Stitches, Lazy Daisies, Plait Stitches, Upright Crosses and Rice Stitches, Beaded Interlaced Hemstitching, Zig Zag Stitches, Diamond Eyelets, French Knots, Spider Web Roses, Arrowhead Stitches, Double Herringbone Hemstitching, Three Sided Eyelets, Four Sided Stitches, Bargellow, Montenegrin Stitches, Bullion Knots, Hardanger Diamond with Whipped Spider Web Filling Stitches,  Serpentine Hemstitches, and all the Finishing for the projects
